Instructions
- Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces if you're using whole chicken breasts or thighs. Season them with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream to create an egg wash.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Roll the chicken in the coating mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Press the coating onto the chicken to make it stick.
- Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches around 175°C (350°F).
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil using tongs. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side or until it becomes golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces.
- Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your keto fried chicken with your favorite low-carb dipping sauces or alongside a salad for a delicious keto-friendly meal.Enjoy your homemade keto fried chicken!
