Speaking of thighs... mine are toast! Anyone else feeling those 45 cleans today? This was an easy, comforting dinner, full of flavor, and made my kids happy... which was just what I needed tonight. Finger lickin' Paleo friendly faux-fried chicken thighs! A great meal for a tired cook and a hungry family! Hope you enjoy.
Recipe:
8 chicken thighs, with bone (with skin or without)
2 T olive oil
2 T dijon mustard
1/2 C almond meal
2 T dried parsley flakes
1 T dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
pinch sea salt
dash cayenne pepper
dash paprika
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Combine olive oil and mustard in a shallow dish and set aside. In another shallow dish combine almond meal and remaining spices. After 15 minutes remove chicken thighs from oven. Turn temperature to broil and put baking rack about 6 inches from heat. Brush one side of the chicken thighs with mustard/olive oil mixture. Sprinkle with almond meal/spice mixture and broil until nicely browned (about 5 minutes). Turn chicken thighs over, brush remaining mustard/olive oil mixture over chicken thighs, season with more almond meal spices and broil again...until golden brown. Should be crispy & flavorful! Enjoy with your choice of vegetable side.
My kids LOVED this! Hope you will, too!
