Low Carb Crispy Keto Fried Chicken (Similar to KFC Style)

Missing the Kentucky Fried Chicken? If you’re a KFC™ lover, this low carb fried chicken recipe is perfect for you.

Ingredients:

• 6 chicken thighs boneless
• 1 large egg
• 30 ml unsweetened almond milk
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tbsp basil
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1/3 tsp oregano
• 1 tbsp celery salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp powdered mustard
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp fresh turmeric optional
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp chili red flakes optional
• salt to taste

Coating and Frying

• 50 g unflavored whey protein isolate powder (you can also use almond flour for coating)
• coconut oil (or your choice of oil for deep frying)

Instructions:

1. Before chopping the chicken thighs into small chunks, make sure to thoroughly wash and dry them.
2. Grind the garlic cloves and all the spices with a blender or a mortar. Flavor the chicken with this spice mix. Crack in the egg and pour the milk into the seasoned chicken pieces. Stir well to marinate well.
3. Transfer the chicken to a covered container and let it chill in the fridge for around an hour. Flip the chunks occasionally.
4. Pour the protein powder in a plastic container with a lid. Put the chicken in the container before replacing the lid. Shake well to coat the chicken entirely.
5. Set a deep fryer to 375 degrees and heat the oil in the fryer. Crispy fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes. Wait till the chunks become golden brown and crispy enough to your liking.
6. Transfer to a platter with any keto-approved dip of your choice.
