Ingredients
- 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and sea salt. Whisk until well mixed to form the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the coconut flour, cassava flour, baking soda, and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off but still leaving the chicken moist.
Step 5
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the flour adheres to the chicken.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 7
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, skin side down, and cook for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Place cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with a side of your favorite Whole30-compliant vegetables or salad.
