Keto General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients

• about 680 g Chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tbsp Coconut aminos
• 3 tbsp Rice vinegar

• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Cut the about 680 g of chicken thighs into 2.54 cm bite-sized pieces.
2. 2Prepare two shallow bowls. In the first bowl, whisk the 1 large egg. In the second bowl, add the 1/2 cup of almond flour.
3. 3Dip each piece of chicken into the whisked egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, place the egg-coated chicken into the almond flour and toss to coat evenly.
4. 4Heat the 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a large 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat, reaching 190°C. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per batch, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5. 5In a separate medium saucepan, whisk together the 4 tbsp of coconut aminos, 3 tbsp of rice vinegar, 2 tbsp of Swerve (or other keto sweetener), 1 tbsp of ginger, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum.
6. 6Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
7. 7Add the cooked chicken pieces back into the saucepan with the thickened sauce. Toss gently to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated.
8. 8Serve the Keto General Tso's Chicken immediately.
