Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup tapioca starch
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 egg
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk. Set aside.

Step 3

Dip each chicken drumstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 4

After soaking in the egg mixture, dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge the chicken halfway.

Step 6

Carefully place the drumsticks into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 7

Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Ayam Goreng Tepung hot, with your favorite side dishes.
