Paleo Fake Fried Chicken

Fried.....the word even sounds delicious. Being a Georgia girl i love everything fried. So cutting out bad oils, deep fried was out! NOOOO! What about delicious fried chicken?!!! And then it hit me! Actually, i accidently spilled the onion powder AND forgot the chicken was even in the oven, and a masterpiece was born! Now this does not have the flanky crunch of breaded fried chicken but for a girl going a year without this is the best thing! The skin is so crisp and the meat is so juicy!! Yuumm! 

So for this ill break it down to each leg, because sometimes you get 6 pack or the jumbo family size. 

Pre-Heat Oven 350' 

Each Leg: ( with the skin on it ) 

1/4 Tsp Onion Powder 

1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder 

1/8 Tsp Cayenne Powder 

1/8 Tsp Cumin Powder

Salt & Pepper 

Take your onion powder and rub over the skin, a thin layer is all you need, then ad you other spices over that. And place on a baking sheet, with a rack if possible, and bake for 1 hour. The skin is very crispy, and the meat is nice and juicy! 

Now being lactose intolerant is super no fun. I havent tried Ghee yet but im hoping it helps because butter is amazing! Lol but until then i had to come up with something  because i love mashed sweet potatoes. I thought there was no substitute good enough until a little experiment answered all my prayers! 

4 servings 

2 Sweet Potatoes 

1 TBS Coconut Oil 

1/4 Tsp Salt 

1/4 Tsp Onion Powder 

1/4 Tsp Coconut Sugar 

1/8 Tsp Garlic Powder 

Pepper 

I just peeled and diced the sweet potatoes and placed them into a pot and filled with water until it covered the potatoes. 

Boil until you can easily place a fork through then drain and get your hand mixer out and mix. I add my coconut oil and seasons at this point, i like to have the potatoes mixed then mixed again. 

Best part is the coconut oil helps give a smooth texture and seasonings are just amazing to have! 

Enjoy!
