Craving fried chickien? Here’s an easy and simple recipe for making it at home! Same great crunch and flavor, minus most of the carbs. Each serving (3 fried chicken pieces) has only 2.5g net carbs!
Boneless and skinless chicken thighs are cut into small pieces and “breaded” in a mixture of almond flour, finely grated parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Then they’re dipped in an egg wash and breaded again.
After that, they go straight into the hot oil, deep frying for about 5 minutes until deep brown and cooked through. The end result is fried chicken that’s crunchy and flavorful on the outside, with juicy and tender meat on the inside. Yum!

Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 18 ounces total)
- vegetable oil for frying
Egg Wash:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
"Breading":
- 2/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 2/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Instructions:
- Add 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil to a pot over medium-high heat. Heat the oil to 350 F, and frequently monitor to maintain the temperature by adjusting the flame during frying.
- In a bowl, add eggs and heavy cream, beating until well-mixed. In another bowl, stir together all breading ingredients until well-mixed. Set aside.
- Cut each chicken thigh into 3 evenly sized pieces. If moist, pat them dry with paper towels.
- Coat each piece first in the breading, then in the egg wash, and then in the breading again, coating all sides. Shake off excess and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry until deep brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes, and drain on paper towels.
- Repeat with the other chicken pieces. You may want to work in batches to avoid overcrowding in the pot -- I usually have 6 chicken pieces frying simultaneously in a 8-inch wide pot.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
