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.
