Looks good, but after decades of trying various keto chicken recipes, I’ve learned a thing or two. 1) pickle juice brine imparts most flavor and juiciness; forget the buttermilk (don’t believe me? Do a taste yourself with both at the same time). 2) only seasoning, no junk like whey protein powder. To make it crispy, pat dry the skin thoroughly, let dry out in the fridge on a rack (the Chinese use portable fans to accelerate drying). Poke the skin, then bake using super-convection or an air-fryer. Tasty crispy chicken.
I don't like the protein powder either or all those seasonings. I normally just use salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and jalapeno that I dry myself and grind in a spice grinder. Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna use the poking the skin one. Mine always bubbles up. I may use a sprinkle of vinegar too instead of the pickle juice to add flavor and see.
@@akbananachucker2441 Instead of whey protein powder or anything else, try pork rinds. I buy them in the store, crumble them up in the bag and use that as my "breading". Gives an awesome crunch and pork rinds are keto.
This looks awesome! Super excited to make it. I had triple bypass surgery at 50 and I was not in bad shape. Ran, lifted, went on long backcountry hunts where I'd hike 15-20 miles. I thought I was in great shape. Went for some routine blood work and had high cholesterol. Calcium score was bad, CT A was bad. Ran the camera up there and I was totally clogged up with ZERO symptoms. Scheduled my surgery and changed my entire diet. Lost 30 lbs before surgery and another 10 since. I'm a week out of the hospital after a 6 day stay and fortunately it went great. I am never eating crap food again but it's hard to totally relearn to cook. Can only eat so many vegetables and broiled fish. This will be a great treat every once in a while!!!
As a lifelong cook and chef I have a small tip (two cents worth). You can safely pull your chicken at 158-160 degrees and the residual heat will continue cooking for another five minutes easily finishing at a safe temp of 165, making for a juicier finish than pulling it at exactly the recommended temp. P.S. It is fun to see the energy between your gregarious self and introverted wife, ha.
I love the way he looks at her ❤ with so much love while she talks and karen you look absolutely gorgeous 😘 thanks to both of you for this amazing recipe
Sounds delish! I make my own version. I spice the chicken, dip in egg wash and then in ground pork rinds. I cook in my air fryer. FANTASTIC! My husband loves it and so do I.
Nice alternative; thank you! We use similar spices with an egg wash and coat with crushed pork rinds then bake it on a grate over a foil covered cookie sheet, shiny side up, convection oven. Somewhat similar finish without the use of any oil.
I developed a method to cook the chicken sous vide before frying. This was before I went keto about five years ago, but the value is you KNOW it's done when the outside is. Basically, you cook the chicken at 145ºF using sous vide for 45 minutes, and chill it, then you do exactly what you normally do, but you get to take it out when the outside is done. The chicken stays moist as the outside cooks. I may give this a shot.
I don't know how old she is but she looks very young. It must be the fabulous eating that they do, the happy dispositions that they have, and the fabulous relationship they have together. 👫 💕🎉
Yeah I've noticed they both look *younger* in their later videos than those over the last four years. I really think 'taking care of yourself' can get you aging in reverse to some degree. I've seen it happen with lots of people, both in media and in person.
You can also just put about an inch or even 1/2 inch of oil in your pan and then flip your chicken when it's half-way done. That's all you need for most foods, uses less oil and still gets you a great fried chicken!
Hello Dr. Berg. I noticed that one of the ingredients is whey protein, which you previously advised against consuming. Would it be alright in this context or is there something to be aware of here? Thank you
Cooking with whey- I've been looking for this. Thank you so much! For some of the other comments regarding the pickle juice, well that's basically vinegar and vinegar is magical. If you want to get really tasty juicy chicken, you can also use high fat Greek yogurt because yogurt will break down and tenderize the chicken naturally. It is truly yummy
I’m surprised using whey protein??? One of your short video on Whey protein is that it’s highly inflammatory?? Why suggest this if it’s not good for the body ?? But it looks delicious, I think I’m going to use pork rinds or almond flour.. better way to go !
Oh man I have missed seeing Karen in your videos!!! This looks like an older video just being posted, which is fine. Looks delicious! Please bring Karen back once in awhile!!!
If you add salt black papper red chilli powder hot spices ginger garlic lemon juice marinate in milk then coat flour and fry. We use these spices in Pakistan. It will be equally good.
Here is the recipe I wrote it all down and then put it down below. The only change I made was to let the spicy protein powder stick to the chicken for a few minutes before you fry it so it doesn't peel off in the oil right away. Dr Berg keto chicken 2 tsp salt 2 tbsp white pepper 1 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp celery seed powder 1 tsp mustard powder 2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp oregano 1 tbsp paprika 1 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp rosemary powder 1/2 tsp sage Mix the spices in a bowl. 2 1/2 cups of buttermilk Four eggs Add 1/2 of the spice mix. Soak your chicken in that buttermilk mixture overnight. 2 1/2 cups of unflavored whey protein powder. Add half of the mixture of the spices to that protein powder. Coat the chicken in that powder mixture and set aside for a few minutes so it sticks to the chicken. Heat avocado oil a few inches in a pan 350° cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°.
I buy chicken thighs and debone and remove skin (save both for stock) I would stale Naked Bread (as close as I could find to pure) and run in my food processor to a well chopped or dust us that as my breading.
sounds perfect! I've tried every keto fried chicken idea except the one with protein powder! have you tried frying it in an animal fat!? like beef tallow or Ghee butter!? that's been my breakthrough! especially ghee butter! fried chicken with a buttery taste throughout
Can she please let you finish your sentence instead of constantly taking over? You deserve that. Thank you ❤ Have to say you have some nice extra channels nowadays. Very creative ⬆️
Thank you for this recipe. I will definitely be adding this to my repertoire. You didnt address saving and reusing avocado oil; could you please tell us how to do that? I love your videos. Thank you
I'll have to try this spice mix and the buttermilk. Have you tried Victorias Keto flour yet for breading? Just tried it for the first time with some shrimp tonight and it fried up great. What got me here looking up some chicken to try next. Anyway, keep up the great work! always love the recipe videos.
Judging other people isn't attractive either. It's skin we all die and lose our bodies one day anyways why do you care how people choose to express themselves lol people are funny @worldupsidedown1
Good afternoon sir, I AM very big fan from India of your channel. Can you please upload some more videos of keto recipes so that I can start my keto resturant in India Inshallah. To serve GOOD FOOD FOR BETTER TOMORROW. THANK YOU SIR
If you and your wife have never tried deviled oven fried chicken you both would really like it I think. It's a little similar to this recipe except it's baked in the oven.
KFC let a journalist look through their stuff and the original recipe was written in a sheet of paper. You can find the photo online: KFC SPICES Spices, mix with 2 cups white flour: 1. ⅔ TS Sal 2. ½ Ts Thyme 3. ½ Ts Basil 4. ½ Ts Oregano 5. 1 Ts Celery Salt 6. 1 Ts Black pepper 7. 1 Ts Dried Mustard 8. 4 Ts Paprika 9. 2 Ts Garlic Salt 10. 1 Ts Ground Ginger 11. 3 Ts White Pepper
Dr Berg, I know that you are originally from Wisconsin, but I don't know where in Wisconsin. I am in N.E. Wisconsin. I am going to assume that you are familiar with the Wisconsin custom of going out on Friday evenings for a deep fried lake perch dinner. Do you think this recipe could be used to make a keto version of deep fried lake perch? Or do you have a better suggestion? You also probably know that french salad dressing is very popular in Wisconsin. My favorite is Kraft Catalina dressing. Do you have any ideas for a keto version of this? Thanks
Looks great for a guy like me battling a high A1C. But I did the workup and we're looking at about $30 for one batch of fried chicken, or about $5 per piece. I'm not rich, so I'll have to stick to oven roasted thighs. Soaking in baking soda and water also tenderizes chicken breasts really well.
Yes, just spray them with a bit of Avacado oil instead of deep-frying. Bread them, set them on a rack and spray them on one side and flip them over and spray again. Watch out for the temp on those though and mine is hotter than some. I noticed that if I follow most peoples recipe for air fryer chicken, it will be over-cooked.
It’s fried also, so what’s the difference? I agree with using ghee instead of oil, we always used ghee and my Mother would use Only QBB Ghee! They pulled off the shelf today as they introduce healthier alternative viz Ol! Crazy! NOW they tell us to leave oil?

Also, please taste the finished product before adulterating it with sauce. That sometimes drives a chef batty...
I do this with white meat but not dark, as dark is supposed to go to 175 and often looks bloody even then.
OverCooked a few Degrees HardLy makes a Difference@ 😮Taurine Rich Meat aka Legs
Yay, I missed these recipe videos with Karen, welcome back!
Much younger and no beard is a bit of a give away 😆 None the less, very informative and yummy. Ahh...that would be the chicken 🇦🇺 🐨
I love the way he looks at her ❤ with so much love while she talks and karen you look absolutely gorgeous 😘 thanks to both of you for this amazing recipe
Amazing and thank you! Love to see you both sharing more Keto Recipes. Karen looks fabulous! ❤

Yes. That's what I'm preaching in the comments right now, pork rinds.
Yep. I tried ground chicharron with tenders-FABULOUS!!
I use almond flour on my chicken , and it works wonderfully on pork as well .
Heheeej, I glad you did not given up on us... You always had very fantastic dynamic with your lovely wife... Glad it did not changed over the years...
*The coating is so flavorful and crunchy, and the chicken is perfectly tender. Thanks for the amazing recipe!*

HEY! New vid! woohoo....I watch Dr. Berg all the time - a Karen Berg addition is always top notch. thanks guys
I was just thinking how I missed seeing your recipe videos, and here one pops up. Youre a mind reader!
he is so endearing. the way his eyes lit up when he looks at her. what a gorgeous couple.
Nice to revisit this video again. Good recipes 😋 Karen needs to have her own channel with your daughter-in-law cooking up the recipes 😋 😊
I don’t think he has a daughter in law l think he has a son and has a UA-cam channel
Yay, so happy to see this video. Love your energy Karen and you two together are so funny. 🤩
Karen looks FABULOUS!

She is in her 50s. It definitely is the diet.
She undoubtedly had a facelift surgery.
Thank you so much I've been hoping forever that you would put out more recipes love you guys❤❤❤❤❤❤

So nice to see you and your beautiful wife in the kitchen making a healthy fry chicken. I will surely try it with the avocado oil. Thanks.
Awesome can't wait to cook and try 💯👍
Yay,..... she is back!
I’m surprised using whey protein??? One of your short video on Whey protein is that it’s highly inflammatory?? Why suggest this if it’s not good for the body ??
But it looks delicious, I think I’m going to use pork rinds or almond flour.. better way to go !

Love the hand tatts
I buy chicken thighs and debone and remove skin (save both for stock) I would stale Naked Bread (as close as I could find to pure) and run in my food processor to a well chopped or dust us that as my breading.
Cook some in the air fryer to show us how yummy they come out. Please
Whey protein powder? Eh. Pork rinds. Crunch them up, use them as your "bread". Gives an awesome crunch.
Keto?, i' Seem to ✅ iT.
This is great channel. Only one thing i miss very much is calorie, protein, carbohydrates and fat content. It would make much more easier to choose.
Wow. Can't wait to try it.
Wow, it looks delicious. 😍
That looks so good. 👌
That looks delicious. Thank you.
Wait isnt whey protein considered not good?
Ive seen Cultured Celery something on labels ( No Sugar Bacon ) ? Not sure if its okay
sounds perfect! I've tried every keto fried chicken idea except the one with protein powder! have you tried frying it in an animal fat!? like beef tallow or Ghee butter!? that's been my breakthrough! especially ghee butter! fried chicken with a buttery taste throughout

Need to be rich to fill up the pot with avocado oil
Hi Karen!!!
Love the recipe 😍

What got me here looking up some chicken to try next. Anyway, keep up the great work! always love the recipe videos.
Looks delicious!❤😀👍🏽
Looks fire but idk bout that protein powder
Try pork rinds instead. I've had awesome results with it, and it's keto.
Why the protein powder?
The full hand tattoos thru me off for a minute lol...😂
Yeah, who's hand is that? Not attractive.
It was a turn off
Here we go, the sensitive bunch are here as well. Don't you people ever take a break?

I'll eat that from now on👍🏻
KFC let a journalist look through their stuff and the original recipe was written in a sheet of paper. You can find the photo online:
KFC SPICES
Spices, mix with 2 cups white flour:
1. ⅔ TS Sal
2. ½ Ts Thyme
3. ½ Ts Basil
4. ½ Ts Oregano
5. 1 Ts Celery Salt
6. 1 Ts Black pepper
7. 1 Ts Dried Mustard
8. 4 Ts Paprika
9. 2 Ts Garlic Salt
10. 1 Ts Ground Ginger
11. 3 Ts White Pepper
so frying on 175 degrees celcius is the best option?, without seed oils ofcourse
Can we air fry instead of frying in oil? Does it make a difference the type of oil used?
Extended fasting, can't watch. Saved to Recipes. Looking forward to watching it when I'm done fasting.
Where does everyone get their organic chicken?
Local natural foods store but even Walmart has organic chicken.
The best chicken I ever had was chicken with a light GF rice coating .
Aldi's or whole Foods
Costco
Good ranchers. Affordable, trustworthy and american!
May I swap the protein powder with coconut flower?
Almond flour gives an incredible flavor

I thought you said in a video that protein powders are bad, is whey protein an exception?
Does this work in an air fryer? Avocado oil is about $30/litre on Australia
Can you share the Whey protein brand that you used? Please 🙏🏿
Can the air fryer be used instead???
Yes, just spray them with a bit of Avacado oil instead of deep-frying. Bread them, set them on a rack and spray them on one side and flip them over and spray again. Watch out for the temp on those though and mine is hotter than some. I noticed that if I follow most peoples recipe for air fryer chicken, it will be over-cooked.
You should use cayenne pepper instead of chilli, and if you don't know, it is really worth knowing about it's benefits.
Whey protein??
Can we use almond flour as opposed to the protein powder?
I'm pretty sure you can eat usda prime filet mignon cheaper than you can amke your fried chicken.
Thank you! 🙂
what is Butter Milk? I remember Hoagy " Ol' Buttermilk sky"
Thank you for you couple ❤❤❤❤❤
No no avocado oil is very expensive in Hungary so I will keep frying with sunflower oil and breadcrumbs because I have no money!
But you will die sooner if you keep using seed oils! Can’t you find coconut oil? Or just don’t fry anything. 🤷🏽♂️
We do something similar & roast it in the oven (without protein powder or butter milk)!
Please, can you put your version ? Many thanks in advance. 🫠
Yay! I'm convinced! I am not a fan pf paprika so will try without.
It’s fried also, so what’s the difference?
I agree with using ghee instead of oil, we always used ghee and my Mother would use Only QBB Ghee!
They pulled off the shelf today as they introduce healthier alternative viz Ol!
Crazy!
NOW they tell us to leave oil?
Love videos with you both!:)
good grief it has been two years since you and karen did a video! looks awesome
Is that a Trident? Neptune?

Good job Dr Berg!!! 🏆
0:00 where did you see any tattoos on her hands, silly ⁉️ Could it perhaps be someone else preparing the food in the video⁉️🤡
