Ingredients
  

  • 20 ounce boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large egg
  • 3 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened carton coconut milk
  • ½ cup unflavored low-carb protein powder
  • ¼ cup coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. In a large baggie, add all spices, eggs, almond milk, and chicken pieces. Close bag and massage chicken pieces until coated with spice/egg mixture. Put bag in fridge for at least one hour. In another bag, place whey protein isolate powder, close and set aside.
  • At end of marinating time, melt oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat. While oil is heating, take some chicken pieces out of marinade bag, shake excess egg off, and place in protein powder bag. Seal bag, then turn or shake bag to coat chicken pieces well.
  • When oil is hot, carefully place chicken pieces in pan. Do not overcrowd pan. Fry for 5 minutes or until chicken is done. While chicken is cooking, remove more chicken from marinade and place in protein powder bag.
  • When chicken is done, remove from pan to paper towels or rack, and put more chicken in oil. Repeat until all chicken is cooked. Serve with sauce of choice.
