This simple oven fried shake and bake chicken recipe is gluten free and low carb. The preparation time is less than five minutes and clean up is a breeze.

Gay’s note: This puts “the Colonel” to shame! It may be addictive. Make extra coating. It takes more than specified here, especially for thighs. 

Ingredients

 chicken thighs with bone and skin on – or drumsticks if you prefer

Make at least a double batch of this:

1/2 cup almond flour

2 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon sage

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

grapeseed or other good flavorless oil

Instructions

1.    Preheat oven to 450F.

2.    In large zipper storage bag, combine all ingredients.

3.   Line one or more jelly roll pans with nonstick aluminum foil.

4.    Drizzle oil generously over each pan.

5.    Place a couple pieces of chicken in the seasoning bag and shake until coated.

6.   Place coated chicken on lined pans.

7.    Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Flip and bake 15-20 minutes longer for drumsticks. Thighs take at least 30 minutes per side, or 35 for the really large ones. Test for doneness with a thermometer. 165 degrees minimum for safety. 

Notes

Other suitable spices are thyme, marjoram, and rosemary.
