Oven Fried Chicken with Gravy

Yield: 4 servings

2/3 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon paprika
3 1/2 pounds chicken pieces
1/2 cup butter

Combine the flour, salt, pepper, dry mustard, celery salt, and paprika in a brown paper bag. Wash and dry the chicken pieces. Shake the chicken pieces one at a time in the flour mixture.

Melt the butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Arrange the chicken pieces in the dish and turn them once to coat both sides in the butter. Bake at 375 degrees F, uncovered, for 75 minutes, turning once. Remove the chicken to a preheated serving platter.

Place the roasting pan over a low heat and add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to the chicken drippings and butter. Scrape the sediment from the bottom and blend thoroughly. Stir in two cups of hot water and keep stirring until the gravy thickens.
