Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Cut the chicken breasts into strips, ensuring they are of similar size for even cooking.
2. Create Egg Wash:
   • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and add Sriracha sauce. Mix well to create an egg wash.
3. Prepare Coating Mixture:
   • In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to create the coating mixture.
4. Dip and Coat:
   • Dip each chicken strip into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
   • Roll the chicken strip in the coating mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to adhere.
5. Repeat for Double Coating (Optional):
   • For an extra crispy layer, you can dip the coated chicken strip back into the egg wash and roll it in the coating mixture again.
6. Heat the Oil:
   • In a skillet, heat enough avocado oil for frying over medium-high heat.
7. Fry the Chicken Strips:
   • Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry each side until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side, but cooking times may vary.
8. Drain and Rest:
   • Once cooked, place the fried chicken strips on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
   • Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve your crispy keto fried chicken strips with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
