How to Make It
Step 1
Using paper towels, pat the chicken thigh dry. Place it between 2 pieces of parchment paper and bang it with a kitchen hammer to flatten it slightly. Add the oil to a small pan and place it over medium heat.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, and ¼ tsp salt. Brush ½ tbsp of mayonnaise over the chicken thigh and transfer it to the bowl with the coating mixture, mayonnaise side down. Brush another ½ tbsp of mayonnaise on the bare side of the chicken thigh.
Step 3
Carefully flip the chicken thigh and coat it well on both sides. Transfer the breaded chicken to the pan. Fry both sides until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes in total. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Step 4
To a straight-edged mug, add the butter. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds until melted. Add 3 tbsp almond flour, baking powder, egg, and 1/8 tsp salt. Whisk until combined.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and microwave for 90 seconds. Remove from the microwave and let cool slightly. Slice it in half and set it aside.
Step 6
Spread ½ tbsp of mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place a lettuce leaf and then the fried chicken. Cover with the top part of the bun and serve.
