    "Prepare your tastebuds for homestyle cooking — the keto way. This keto fried chicken recipe is the ultimate summer backyard BBQ dish, and is guaranteed to wow your keto and non-keto guests alike. Coated in a golden Southern-spiced, gluten-free batter made from almond flour, this fried chicken is low in carbs and higher that average in protein. To up the nutrition, it’s fried in a homemade tallow — a healthy cooking fat that’s rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids. Aside from being way more nutritious than most fried chicken recipes, our version has the crunch you’re craving. Pair it with a tangy (keto-approved) coleslaw, and you’ve got yourself a comforting meal that’s as healthy as they come."

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 egg
    • 2 chicken thighs skin on
    • 2 chicken drumsticks skin on
    • 1 cup tallow
    1. In a medium bowl, add the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork until fully blended.

    2. Spread the mixture on a large flat plate.

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

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

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

    6. 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.)
