Paleo Fried Chicken..by Paleo Comfort Foods

This yummy recipe came from my cookbook http://paleocomfortfoods.com/ I got this cookbook when I lived in Birmingham and that was the last time I made this tasty dish.  My kids loved it then and loved it tonight.  No dipping sauce needed by the way ;)



  

Ingredients

1 cup (250 mL) coconut oil
2 large eggs
1 cup (150 g) almond flour
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. chipotle powder (optional)
2 pounds (900 g) chicken- thighs, drums, breasts (I used breasts and split them in half)

Directions

1. Heat oil in large frying pan to 350F (175C) and preheat oven to 400F (205C)
2. Whisk eggs in medium sized bowl
3. Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl and mix well.
4. Dip chicken in whisked eggs.
5. Coat/cover chicken in dry mixture and place in hot oil.  Allow both sides to brown (about 2 minutes each side).
6. Place drying rack on sheet pan and assemble chicken on the rack so there is space between all pieces.
(I just put alum foil on a cookie sheet-that's it)
7. Put chicken in oven for 10-15 minutes.  Remove and serve.




ENJOY!
