My newest creation using coconut flour, and it turned out fantastic.This is my interpretation of a healthier version of fried chicken prepared with coconut flour in the oven. This recipe adds more than 25 grams fiber to the total recipe. Coconut flour makes this a sure winner by cutting back on some of the carbs used in regular A.P. flour. I wanted the recipe to be Crispy on the outside, and moist, succelent and juicy on the inside & I succeeded.This was my first try with this recipe. I could have removed the skin but chose to leave it to capture moisture, & remove after cooking.

How To Make coconut flour faux fried chicken/oven method

    Place each piece on prepared baking rack, and repeat till all of the pieces have been fully coated. Spray pieces lightly with non stick cooking spray. Add more coating mix to plate if needed. When you are done, if you did not contaminate the remaining mixture with the wet chicken, you can take whats left and store in freezer for the next time. I like to keep extra seasoning already prepared in freezer.

Even if you are not diabetic, fiber is good for the body, it keeps you regulated, if you allow enough in your diet on a regular basis. Just trying to incorporate more fiber in my everyday routine.
