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

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.) 7 Fry the chicken, flipping once, until golden brown, about 10 minutes on either side. 8 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.) 9 Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to let the grease drip off. 10 Enjoy with a side salad or sautéed vegetables.
