Tired of plain chicken? I was looking for flour alternatives and I found some almond flour at the grocery store. I made an egg wash with egg and heavy cream and coated the chicken in the almond flour with some garlic and paprika. Fried in extra virgin olive oil. It's much better than eating plain chicken and much lower carbs than regular flour.
Somebody on here also used to use coconut oil to make fried chicken; said it was good.
Olive oil is not a good choice for frying. It has a low smoke point. Coconut oil would be a much better choice, yielding crispier chicken.
Almond flour is very expensive. For this purpose, no so much, but for baking or other flour based cooking (waffles, pancakes), it can be very costly.
