Ingredients

  • 1 lb. organic boneless skinless chicken breast or tenders
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon hot sauce divided
  • 1-1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoon grass-fed butter or ghee

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into strips if using a whole breast. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon hot sauce.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cayenne until combined.
  • Dip sliced chicken into the egg, then dredge in flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
  • In a large skillet, heat avocado oil for 2-3 minutes until hot.
  • Place chicken in the skillet, in batches, and let fry for 3-4 minutes on each side depending on how thick your chicken is. Cook until chicken is crispy and golden-brown, but juicy in the center. Place on towel to drain excess oil.

  • Add in chicken and toss until coated.
  • Remove to plate and serve immediately.
