Fried Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350℉

- Place almond flour, eggs, gluten free flour in three separate dishes.
- Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and place on wire rack on top of a baking sheet to drain.
- Gently coat chicken pieces: 1st - almond flour, 2nd - egg, 3rd - gluten free flour.
- Once all chicken is coated carefully place 3-4 chicken pieces at a time into hot oil. Do not over crowd. If using the Dutch oven method for frying be sure to have a reliable thermometer to periodically test temperature. Adjust temperature of stove (higher or lower) if necessary. Also, BE CAREFUL!!
- Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly golden brown. Transfer deep fried chicken to a baking sheet with roasting rack.
- Finish cooking fried chicken in oven for approximately 20 minutes or until thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 165℉.
Waffles
- Preheat waffle iron.
- In a mixing bowl whisk eggs until frothy.
- Add remaining waffle ingredients to frothy eggs and gently mix. Don't over mix, batter will be on the chunky side.
- Scoop waffle batter into hot iron and cook until golden brown. Depending on how deep your waffle iron is use 1/3 c - 1/2 c of batter for waffles.
- Serve waffles with fried chicken and a drizzle of your favorite maple syrup!
