This Healthy Fried Chicken is baked instead of fried without breadcrumbs, cereal, oil, or flour. It comes out so crispy outside and juicy inside, you will want to sink in your teeth immediately.
Place wire rack on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spray the rack with cooking spray or brush with oil. Preheat oven to 425° F.
In a large plate with edges, add coconut flakes, almond meal or flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork to combine and set aside.
Take a drumstick, dip in egg mixture, dredge in coating, dip in egg again and finally dredge in coating one last time. Place on the wire rack and repeat with remaining 9 chicken drumsticks.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the juices run clear when chicken is poked with a knife or fork. Serve immediately for the best crispy healthy chicken in the world!
Leftover fried chicken should be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Unfortunately, the chicken will not be quite as “crispy” when reheated.
