Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken
Ingredients
- 12 Oz Chicken Breast (Cut in Half)
- 1/2 Cup Crushed Pork Rinds
- 1/3 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp. Pepper
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
Instructions
- 1. Crush up your pork rinds in a Ziploc bag. I highly suggest doing this manually, as having some larger crumbs will add to the texture. I used BBQ flavored pork rinds, but you can use regular if that’s all you have on hand.
- 2. In a bowl, put your pork rind crumbs, 1/3 Cup Parm cheese, and pepper.
- 3. In another bowl, crack an egg and scramble it well.
- 4. Mix the pork rind ingredients up to make sure it will coat the chicken evenly.
- 5. Dip your chicken into the egg mixture, then dip it into the pork rind crumb mixture. We’re doing a double dip to ensure there will be a nice crust. Dip it in the egg mixture again, and again into the pork rinds.
- 6. In a pan, put your olive oil and coconut oil. Turn to medium high heat and let it get hot.
- 7. Once the oil is hot, place your chicken inside. DON’T TOUCH IT! Let it sit here a while, almost until you smell burning. We want to make sure the crust gets nice and crisp.
- 8. Once you smell that burning, flip it over and do the same to the other side. Once you smell burning again, you can flip it over a second time.
- 9. Turn your heat down to the lowest setting, and let your chicken cook for about 6-7 minutes per side (depending on thickness of the chicken breast).
- 10. Let your chicken cook until it’s just about done. I like to keep my chicken nice and moist inside, JUST over the pink side in the center – but this is completely up to your own preferences.
