Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
- 6 chicken legs and thighs bone-in and skin-on
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Coating Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl whisk together eggs and heavy cream. In a second shallow bowl, combine pork rinds, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and peppers.
- Dip chicken in egg mixture one at a time, then dredge through the pork rind mixture, pressing to coat. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and set aside.
- Add 1 ½-2 inches of oil to a deep Dutch oven or pot and heat to 350 F (or use a deep fryer). Working in batches, carefully fry the pieces of breaded chicken for five minutes, then flip over and continue frying for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should read 165°F.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining breaded chicken.
