Crispy Sweet Potato Chip Fried Chicken

I am so excited to share my latest recipe creation with you. To make the chicken super moist you soak it completely covered in buttermilk over night or for a few hours.  A few hours will do the trick but over night is ideal! I know you are all wondering is Buttermilk Paleo? Check out this article I found on Buttermilk and whether it is Paleo or not. I was happy when I read it. The sweetness of the sweet potato, the crispiness of the chips combined with cinnamon, sea salt and stevia is out of this world. I prefer to use the hormone free, organic, boneless chicken thighs when I make this recipe. The chicken thighs have more fat so they are moister and more flavorful than chicken breasts or tenders. It is your choice. Let me know how you like this recipe. Please comment below(: Thank you in advance!

Serves 4-6

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

1 lb of Chicken Tenders or Thighs
1 cup of buttermilk
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp of Dried Parsley Flakes
 1/4 cup coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 bag of  Terra Sweet Potato Chips
or make your own sweet potato chips
put chips in food processor until they look like bread crumbs

Process, 

1) In a bowl, toss the chicken with the buttermilk, sea salt, 1 stevia, cinnamon, parsley flakes, cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours or up to overnight. 

2) Allow your chicken tenders to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking. 

3) Add about one inch of coconut oil or olive oil to a large skillet, preheat the oil over medium  heat until it’s hot but don't let it burn.

4) Shake as much of the buttermilk off of the chicken as you can and dredge them in the sweet potato chip crumb mixture. 

5) Fry them in the hot oil for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they develop good color and are crispy on both sides.

6) Remove them from the skillet, and place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the oil. 

7) Bake in oven at 350 degrees until cooked through. Approx 15-20 min.

8) sprinkle 1 stevia all over chicken, dash of salt and a little more cinnamon. Dee-Lish!
