Meal Type: Chicken
Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup kefir or yogurt
  • 1 cup ground almonds or almond flour
  • ½ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ tsp dried oregano, crushed
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 8-10 chicken drumsticks, skin on (or assorted chicken pieces, skin on)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and kefir (or buttermilk). In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Place bread crumb mixture on a large plate or baking dish to make it easier to dredge the chicken. Dip drumsticks/chicken pieces into egg mixture; then dredge through bread crumb mixture until well coated.
  2. Place drumsticks/chicken pieces on a well-oiled 12x17-inch baking sheet, making sure pieces don't touch. Use a spoon to drizzle melted butter across top of chicken. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until juice of chicken runs clear when poked with a fork. (Do not turn chicken during baking.) Enjoy!
