  Add oil to skillet

  To a large skillet, add ½ inch of avocado oil or ghee. Heat over medium high heat. The oil is hot enough when a small piece of the breading mixture sizzles in the skillet.

  Ingredients

  • Avocado oil (or ghee)

  Add the chicken

  Add 2-3 chicken thighs to the skillet. Only add in enough chicken to allow for evenly cooking. Have about ½ inch room around each thigh. You will have to cook the thighs in batches. Shake the pan back and forth over the burner to allow for the hot oil to slide over the edges and top of the coated chicken. This gets the edges crispy.
