Keto Fried Chicken (Made with Tallow)

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour

½ tablespoon cayenne pepper

½ tablespoon garlic powder

½ tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 egg

2 chicken thighs skin on

2 chicken drumsticks skin on

1/4 cup tallow

Preparation

In a medium bowl, add the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork until fully blended.

Spread the mixture on a large flat plate.

In another small bowl, crack the egg and beat with a fork.

One by one, dip the chicken in the bowl with the egg until fully coated.

Dredge each chicken piece in the flour and spice mixture on the plate until all sides are fully coated. Repeat with all the chicken.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the tallow until melted. Once the tallow is melted and bubbling, add the chicken. (You should hear a sizzle as soon as it hits the pan.)

Fry the chicken, flipping once, until golden brown, about 10 minutes on either side.

Cover the pan with a lid, lower the heat, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes. (Fully cooked chicken should be 165°Fin the thickest part.)

Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to let the grease drip off.

Enjoy with a side salad or sautéed vegetables.
