Preparation:
1. Prep the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, egg, almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
2. Create the Crispy Coating: In a separate shallow dish, combine the remaining almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken cube into the wet mixture, then roll in the dry mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
4. Fry to Perfection: Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated chicken cubes, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
5. Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked chicken nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
