Order karaage in Japan, and your food will be fried with a flour coating (expertly fried, most likely). Make slow carb karaage at home, and you’ll coat chicken in almond flour and bake it until deliciously golden brown. Sesame-spiced lime mayo and a glowing green salad complete the picture.

Preparation
Prepare the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the chicken dry and cut into bite-size pieces; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- In a shallow bowl, beat 1 egg (double for 4 portions) until smooth.
- Place the almond flour in a second shallow bowl.
- Working one at a time, coat the chicken in the egg (letting any excess drip off), then in the almond flour (pressing to adhere).
Bake the chicken
- Arrange the chicken* on a lined sheet pan and bake, flipping halfway, 15 to 20 min., until golden brown and cooked through.
Warm the edamame
- Meanwhile, place the edamame in a medium bowl.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
- Microwave, 1 to 2 min., until warm; season with S&P.
Mise en place
- Separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
- Juice the lime.
Make the lime sesame mayo & salad
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ½ the lime juice, the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining lime juice, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add the lettuce and edamame; toss well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the salad between your plates.
- Top with the chicken.
- Serve the lime sesame mayo on the side. Bon appétit!
