Keto Tennesse Hot Chicken
Tennessee Hot Chicken is a famous style of chicken normally found in The South. Don’t second guess yourself on the name either; this chicken is hot! If the spicy ingredient list is too intimidating for you, you can always modify the spice level to your preference. Each chicken thigh is crispy, crunchy, and leaves the heat burning in the back of your throat. Good thing this dish includes a pickle garnish to cut the spice!* Special Note: please use 2 cups of Grapeseed Oil for this recipe. The amount of oil included is for accurate nutrition calculation purposes only.Jessica L.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and first amount of Tabasco sauce. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, almond flour, salt, pepper, red pepper, cayenne, and paprika. When this mixture is made, pour it onto a wide plate. This will be easier for coating the chicken later.
Step 3
Prepare the chicken thighs by laying them on a clean, flat surface. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken and gently pound the pieces to an even thickness of a little under 1-inch. You should have 4-5 chicken thighs total.
Step 4
*Please see Special Note in recipe description. Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet on high heat. When the oil is evenly hot, coat each chicken thigh into the spicy egg mixture, then the dry mixture, and then into the oil.
Step 5
Cook the chicken thighs for approx. 5 minutes per side. They should naturally release from your skillet when they are ready to be flipped.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked chicken thighs to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 7
For serving, drizzle the second amount of Tabasco over the cooked chicken. Slice the pickles, and arrange these over the chicken as well.
