Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 0.33 cup honey substitute
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat eggs with the almond milk until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each chicken drumstick first in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the almond flour mixture, ensuring full coverage.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Fry each drumstick in the oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer fried chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Once all pieces are fried, bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 8

While the chicken bakes, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey substitute, minced garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water. Add this to the saucepan.

Step 10

Heat the saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 11

Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven and serve hot with the honey garlic sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
