Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Chicken thighs or drumsticks – 8 pieces
  • Almond flour – 3/4 cup
  • Parmesan cheese grated – 1/2 cup
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Heavy cream – 2 tbsp
  • Paprika – 1 tsp
  • Garlic powder – 1 tsp
  • Onion powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – to taste
  • Oil for frying – as needed

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, whisk eggs and heavy cream together.
  3. In another bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture.
  5. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the almond flour mixture.
  6. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  7. Fry the chicken pieces for about 8–10 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove and place on a rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve hot and crispy.

Notes

Maintain medium heat so the coating becomes crispy without burning.
You can also cook this in an air fryer for a lighter option.
Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before frying for a better crust.
Add chili powder or cayenne if you prefer a spicy flavor.
