The bites are perfectly salty, with a gingery taste, and a crispy coating. They remind me of the kind you can get at a Japanese restaurant.
Make sure you serve this with plenty of lemon wedges and some coleslaw! My Keto Jalapeno Popper Coleslaw went well with this. Anyway, I think you will find this recipe both delicious and easy. Please let me know if you try it in the comments below! 💜
Keto Fried Chicken Bites
These flavorful chicken bites are crispy and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste or minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Remove the bones from the chicken if necessary, then cut into bite-size pieces. Leave the skin attached to the pieces.
- Place the chicken pieces in a bowl then add the soy sauce, ginger paste, and sake. Mix well then allow to marinate for 1/2 an hour.
- Drain the marinade off the chicken.
- Preheat a large pan, or pot, with enough about an inch of cooking oil.
- Beat the egg together well, then mix into the chicken. Add the almond and coconut flours, then mix into the chicken. It may seem a bit pasty, but it’s going to be ok.
- Drop the pieces into the hot oil carefully. They will fry to a deep brown color within a few minutes. Once the chicken bites are done, remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
- Serve with lemon squeezed over the top. I think this goes great with my coleslaw recipe!
Notes
You can test the doneness of the chicken by removing a piece from the oil, then press your cooking utensil into it. It will be the same level of firmness as when you press your pinky finger into your thumb.
