Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting the chicken breast fillets into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot enough to fry the chicken but not so hot that it smokes.
Step 5
Take a chicken strip and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the chicken strip in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres to the chicken.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated chicken strip into the hot oil. Repeat with remaining chicken strips, cooking in batches if necessary. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the chicken strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Fried Chicken Fingers with your favorite dipping sauce!
