- 450 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon ground paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 45 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (protein isolate)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili oil
Instructions
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite size pieces.
- I prefer to eat the skin, but if you don't like the skin feel free to take it off ????
- In a bowl combine the chicken with all the spices and the almond milk.
- Mix until well combined.
- Add the two eggs to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Heat the lard (or any frying oil you'll be using) between 140-150C/285-300F.
- When the oil is hot, dip each chicken piece, one by one, into the protein powder making sure all the sides are perfectly coated.
- Once coated, add the chicken pieces to your hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- The inner temperature of each chicken bites should register at 65C/150F+ when the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the fried chicken on a wire rack or some paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Eat as is or with some spicy ranch dressing!
- Spicy Ranch Dressing Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl together and serve with the fried chicken ????
- Recipe Notes The chicken can be reheated the next day, but taste better and is crispier the same day ???? The ranch dressing can also be made as a salad dressing.
- This recipe does not work in an air fryer.
- The whey protein isolate needs to activate inside the hot oil in order to crisp up and get flaky.
