Keto Fried Chicken (KFC) that can be made in the air fryer or regular fryer. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside!
Ingredients
For The Breading & Seasoning:
2 cups Pork Dust
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Dried Thyme
½ tsp Dried Basil
½ tsp Dried Oregano
1 T Celery Salt
1 T Cracked Pepper
2 T Paprika
2 tsp Garlic Salt
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Chili Powder
½ cup Coconut Four
Everything Else:
3 lbs Chicken Legs, Thighs, Wings, Etc. (I used legs only, but all the pieces will work fine)
1 cup Coconut Flour (separate from the coconut flour above)
3 Eggs
½ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Instructions
Make the Pork Dust: Fill your blender (I have this one) to the brim with pork rinds. I used 3 x 3.5 ounce plain bags of pork rinds. Using a total of 10-11 ounces of pork rinds should give you about 2 cups of pork dust. Blend until the pork rinds are crushed into breadcrumb-sized pieces.
Combine the pork dust, spices, and coconut flour in a shallow bowl or dish and set aside.
In a second shallow dish, combine the eggs and almond milk, whisking to combine. Then, pour the 1 cup Coconut Flour in a 3rd Shallow Dish.
Begin by coating each piece of chicken in the plain coconut flour, then roll it in the egg wash, and end in the pork dust & seasonings. Place each piece in your air fryer or regular fryer, and cook for approximately 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a different type of fryer, the cooking time/temperature may vary slightly.
