Low Carb Crispy Spicy Fried Chicken

  • In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.

  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:

    • In another bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, and hot sauce until smooth.

  • Prep the Chicken:

    • Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels so the coating sticks better.

  • Coat the Chicken:

    • Dip each piece into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.

    • Coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.

  • Fry:

    • Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

    • Fry chicken in batches for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C).

  • Drain and Rest:

    • Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack or paper towels to drain.

    • Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
