Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 8 slices Pickle slices
• 4 tablespoons Mustard

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken thighs between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Step 4

Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Carefully add the chicken thighs to the skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

To assemble the sliders, take one piece of fried chicken and place it on a romaine lettuce leaf. Top with a pickle slice and a tablespoon of mustard.

Step 9

Cover with another lettuce leaf to enclose the ingredients like a bun.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining chicken and ingredients to make four sliders in total.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Fried Chicken Sliders.
