Flourless Crispy Fried Chicken
Flourless Crispy Fried Chicken
My husband is addicted to Matty Matheson's cooking videos. We watched his Gluten-Free Spicy Fried Chicken video and decided to give it a shot. I tamed the heat a bit using Coconut sugar (because... Kids! They have to eat too I guess). I also changed the cooking oil. Sometimes I use straight Ghee or coconut oil. I've also used a combo of Black Seed Oil and coconut oil. It really depends on what I have on hand and if I can get 2 Cups out of the oils I stock.
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken, quartered
- salt and pepper for cooking seasoning
- 3-5 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp. Cayenne
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Cloves
- 1/2 tsp. celery seed
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Sugar
- 1/2 tsp. Cumin
- 2 C. Ghee or oil of choice. I use a coconut and black seed oil combo at times
- 2 Tbsp. Bacon fat
Instructions
-
Bring a large pan to medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan (should be about 2" of oil at the bottom). Throw the garlic into the oil and cook for 3 minutes longer.
-
Quarter the chicken and remove the spine and guts. Pat dry the chicken and sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
-
Use tongs to place the chicken in the hot oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until cooked through. (No Pink)
-
Toss the garlic and the bacon fat into the pan with the chicken and cook for 3 more minutes.
-
While the chicken is cooking, mix the spices in a separate bowl.
(coconut sugar, paprika, cumin, celery seed, cayenne)
-
Once chicken is removed from the oil, place in a large bowl and coat it evenly with the spices.
