Servings: persons

1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup homemade mayonnaise (or high-quality store-bought)
2 pastured eggs
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup water chestnut flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Lard, avocado oil or preferred frying fat
1 whole organic chicken, cut into pieces (breast, thigh drumsticks, wings)

1
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C, or gas mark 4).
2
On a clean plate, whisk together the coconut milk, mayonnaise and eggs until combined well.
3
(Alternatively, you may omit the egg from the milk mixture, though the crust may have a more difficult time adhering.)
4
On another clean plate, mix together the three flours and seasonings.
5
Coat the bottom of a large, deep skillet (cast iron works well) with about 1/2 inch of cooking fat and preheat over medium-high heat.
6
Take one piece of chicken and coat it on both sides with the milk and egg mixture, then dredge it in the seasoned flour on both sides.
7
Shake off any excess but be sure to re-dredge any uncoated spots to create an even crust.
8
Repeat until all the chicken is coated.
9
Working in small batches so as not to overcrowd the skillet, fry the chicken for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until each side is nicely browned.
10
Once all the chicken pieces have been fried, lay them on a wire baking rack set on top of a baking pan and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
11
Remove from the oven and serve right away.
