CRISPY KETO FRIED CHICKEN

CRISPY KETO FRIED CHICKEN

Chicken Food

Aaah yes, you heard that right.  Crispy Keto Fried Chicken. YUM. When is the last time you ate some fried chicken that didn’t involve either pork rinds, almond meal, baking powder/soda or parmesan cheese? Look no further, because I just made the best fried chicken ever!!

The secret to these succulent crispy chicken thighs? Whey Protein Isolate!  I use the NOW brand and love it because it’s much lower carb than normal protein powder.

These days I’ve been trying to make so many recipes keto-friendly by using protein powder and let me tell you something.  I am in LOVE! Man, this stuff is amazing. Last week I uploaded some Keto Tempura using whey protein powder, so if you feel like some Japanese food, make sure to make some!

Ingredients

• as needed lard (or coconut oil, beef tallow)
• 1/2 cup whey protein isolate
• 2 eggs
• Fried Chicken
• 450 g boneless chicken thighs
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tbsp paprika powder
• 1/2 tbsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp celery seeds
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 45 ml unsweetened almond milk
• Spicy Ranch Dressing
• 3 tbsp homemade mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika powder
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp chili oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mince the garlic cloves. Cut the chicken thighs into bite size pieces.  I prefer to eat the skin, but if you don't like the skin feel free to take it off 🙂
2. In a bowl combine the chicken with all the spices and the almond milk.  Mix until well combined.  Add the two eggs to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
3. Heat the lard (or any frying oil you'll be using) between 140-150C/285-300F.
