Crunchy keto chicken drumsticks with coleslaw

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken drumsticks, skin-on
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (4% fat)
  • 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 oz. pork rinds
  • 1 cup (3 oz.) unsweetened finely shredded coconut

Coleslaw

  • 1 lb green cabbage
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a wire rack and place over a baking dish, or grease a broiler pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together a marinade of sour cream or Greek yogurt, jerk seasoning, and salt.
  3. Add the drumsticks and marinade to a large bowl, and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes, and then transfer the drumsticks to another large bowl.
  4. Blend the pork rinds into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. Add the coconut flakes and blend for a few more seconds.
  5. Pour the crumbs over the drumsticks, and toss to coat on all sides.
  6. Place the drumsticks on the middle rack and bake for 20 minutes. Using tongs, gently turn the drumsticks over and bake for another 20 minutes, or until crispy and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C). While baking, prepare the coleslaw.
  7. Serve the drumsticks with a side of coleslaw, and enjoy!
  8. Using a sharp knife, mandolin, or food processor slicing blade, finely shred the cabbage.
  9. Place the cabbage, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes before serving.
