Keto & Gluten-Free Buffalo Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. organic boneless, skinless chicken breast or tenders
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

- 1 + 1/4 cup almond flour

- 2 tablespoon grass-fed butter or ghee

Spicy Buffalo Seasoning
This mix is NOT for the faint of heart. There’s a bold spiciness from cayenne and dried jalapeno, but a layered and deep, powerful taste from a healthy mix of black pepper, paprika, and onion.
Directions:
- Cut chicken into strips if using a whole breast. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon hot sauce.
- In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, and Spicy Buffalo Seasoning until combined.
- Dip sliced chicken into the egg, then dredge in flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
- In a large skillet, heat avocado oil for 2-3 minutes until hot.
- Place chicken in the skillet, in batches, and let fry for 3-4 minutes on each side depending on how thick your chicken is. Cook until chicken is crispy and golden-brown, but juicy in the center. Place on a towel to drain excess oil.
- In a saucepan, heat butter until melted. Whisk in 1/2 cup hot sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Add in chicken and toss until coated.
- Remove to plate and serve immediately.
If you want a little Ranch Dressing to go along with it, here is a fantastic low-carb keto friendly recipe!

Directions:
