Instructions

Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl, adjusting lime juice as needed for taste and consistency. Set aside.
Cut chicken thighs into 1-1.5 inch pieces and pat dry thoroughly.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In one bowl, beat an egg; in another bowl, mix tapioca flour, almond flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip chicken pieces in the egg, shaking off excess, then coat them in the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook in batches if needed.
Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165-175°F).
Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate and continue with remaining batches.
Drizzle sauce over the chicken in a serving bowl and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a healthier option, use homemade mayo.
