Keto Cinnamon Crunch Chicken Thighs
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat until smooth. Add the ground almonds, chopped pecans, cinnamon, salt and pepper to a second bowl. Mix well to combine. You may add more or less seasoning and cinnamon to taste.
Step 2
Take one of the chicken thighs and coat it completely in beaten egg. Then, dredge the chicken in the cinnamon crumb until liberally coated all over. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken thighs until they are all coated in the breading.
Step 3
Arrange the breaded chicken thighs across a shallow oven tray. Transfer to the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until entirely cooked through and the crumb is crisp and golden. Serve with your preferred Keto sides.
