I mix pork panko and grated Parm and spices to deep fry chicken tenders. I've found it works the best when I make it ahead. I coat it in egg wash and then the pork rinds/Parm mix and let it sit in the fridge a couple hours on a sheet tray. There are never leftovers!
I do it the same with one difference - I dredge it first in oat fiber, then in egg wash, then the pork panko, parm and garlic (sometimes I add dried parsley and a sprinkle of paprika - but usually just the first 3 ingredients). Gosh, is it good! No one knows I used pork panko either!
@@AJ-ku9jz that's how I do it. I've also seen people put it in the freezer. I'm not sure which way works better but it is seriously delicious, just a bit of prep. If I was an organized person it would probably be around half an hour to get it together and in the fridge. But I'm flighty so it takes me about an hour, or hour and a half if I buy chicken breast and trim it to the size I want instead of paying more for the convenience of tender sized chicken breast. My friend marinated chunks of chicken thighs in pickle juice overnight and then breaded and fried them and they were delicious as well
I use pork grinds and protein powder. Dredge chicken in protein powder, then dip in egg wash, then a blend of pork rinds and protein powder and pan fry
The egg wash is not to get the chicken wet to make the seasoning stick, its to coat the chicken in protein so the breading binds together and to the chicken. The protein powder is doing the same thing here.
Have you heard of the cauliflower pretzels sold at most grocery stores? I blender them into crumbs and mix 50/50 with pork panko. Works well in the air fryer because the pork panko adds fat for the crustyness. Bonus 1, make up a large batch and keep in the pantry for quick use. Bonus 2, add parm and it makes a great keto casserole topping. Try it on cheesey cauliflower.
Yes, but she pan fries them not deep fried. I use pork panko for pan frying chicken strips too and it sticks. Pork panko doesn’t stick very well with deep frying. The combination of a protein powder (or egg white powder) and pork panko probably sticks better than just pork panko alone. But you can see the difference between my fried chicken and hers. Hers looks like the breading you would see on Shake and Bake chicken. Mine has an actually crunchy crust that holds in the juice from the chicken.
When I've made fried chicken, I've cooked dark meat sous vide for 60 minutes at 145ºF then patted it down. I then fry until the desired golden crust, with no need to worry if it's done. You can do this with or without first chilling the chicken after sous vide.
So, I've been told time and time again tha the secret to the crust not floating away from the chicken is to let it sit in the fridge after coating. This allows the later of milk to dehydrate and better bind to the outer dry layer, connecting the three coatings. At least that's how it works for regular flour breading. I don't see why it oughtn't work for these. I seem to have less coating loss when pan frying when I let the coated pieces rest first. But I do have a deep fryer that I've been itching to use and just got another order of protein powder so yay for me!
That’s correct. You must let the braided meat rest in the fridge for at least 6 to 12 hours. It has nothing to do with the ingredient you choose. I am from Argentina 🇦🇷, and that is THE BIG TRICK, to get the best MILANESAS.
For those who like more kick, slathering some mustard onto the chicken instead of the eggwash/buttermilk/cream can also work, and the breading usually sticks to it just fine.
The major DOWNSIDE with using the... ahem... recommended method (no spoilers, watch the video to find out!) is that it leaves behind burnt particles in the oil, making it go bad, fast. I reuse my frying oil all the time, which I amass a TON of, due to butchering and cutting up my own meat, so I have jars and jars of beef tallow and pork lard. But when I deep friend with "this ingredient" for friend chicken, chicken-fried steak, and fried fish, it always left behind a dusty layer of burnt "ingredient" that settled to the bottom of the pan. Even if I let the oil sit so it could collect at the bottom, and I'd only scavenge the top "clean" layer, the oil would be significantly darkened, and carry over a burnt flavor to it. I use oil in cooking all the time (I need to when I keep making more of it regularly), so I'm familiar with how to not overheat my oils, but "this ingredient" just burns way too quickly, and leaves behind such a fine powder that it can't be sifted out, ruining the oil very, very quickly. It's not the end of the world. I used these jars of "ruined" oil to start coils for BBQ, light my fireplace, and generally grease my pans for cooks I don't particularly care too much about (burger patties for on-the-go snacking, for instance), but it's just no good for deep frying again after one use, which is a major no-no for me. I found that going with Pork Panko for most of my frying needs resolved this issue. It's not as crispy as "recommended ingredient", but it sifts out easily, it shares the same oils as lard, and the results are still generally great much of the time. Yeah, sometimes it breaks off mid-fry, but sometimes it stays nice and intact. All in all, both "recommended ingredient" and Pork Panko are great for niche applications as a keto breading substitute! But just beware, if you like to reuse your frying oils.
I just yesterday tried the recipe with pork panko, egg white protein, lupin flour and seasonings. I air fried chicken thighs and legs. They were crunchy and delicious!
Indigo Nili has a breading using pork panko, egg white protein powder and beef gelatin. The breading stays on really well. So it must be the protein powder that causes that since yours also stayed on. I'm going to try your buttermilk and egg white wash next time I make my carnivore chicken strips. Yum!
i mix the protein powder and ground pork rinds. perfect. but be sure to add baking powder to make it crispier. protein powder has a taste, so, flavor up.
My favorite mix is: coat the chicken with lupin flour, then egg wash. Dip the chicken in a mixture of whey protein powder, almond flour, and grated parmesan cheese. You'll have the best crunch ever!
Darn! I'm out of protein powder and forgot to move it into my subscribe and save order last month. Guess I'll just stop pinching those pennies so hard and break down and buy it not on S&S! 😂 I'm dying to try this out. Protein powder is such a good breading base, but for some reason I have to keep relearning that. Not sure why, but it doesn't seem to stick in my brain! Thanks for always bringing us the best videos! Best info, best recipes, and best entertainment!
Thank you, Annie! Just the perfect recipe for the chicken thighs I picked up on sale. I might go with the half finely ground chicharrón, half Parmesan, bks it’s handy! I’ll go air fryer. 😊I’ve subscribed bks you’re a joy & the keto recipes are dope: simple ingredients.
@@johnnafarrell3336 I asked because, as Annie pointed out, Nilli doesn't deep fry. So it was a legitimate question to ask. I wasn't trying to challenge or offend you, as I was clear about. I was simply asking. I'm sorry you chose to be offended anyway.
You were using the same buttermilk/cream mixture for all the different breading types. Have you considered that this buttermilk/cream could be the real limiting factor on why some of the breadings were peeling off? Maybe you should have tried different liquid binder mixtures as well, instead of just the buttermilk/cream.
but like you say you've used 3 types that are more coarse which will result in a difference in texture and coating ability completely the only fair comparison to flour is another powder I'd be interested to see the results if it's possible to get them all into a finer powder?
OMG!!! You're Hilarious!!! "Mixing the spices is gonna give me Tennis Elbow" 🤣🤣 These recipes all look amazing! Thank you for trying all the different ways to make low carb fried chicken! I'm so excited to try the protein powder recipe - because everytime I have tried to fry chicken my breading falls off. Thank you again. Love and hugs!!! 💕💕
After you bread the chicken, put it on a rack and let sit in the fridge for as long as you can stand it. Pull it out and let rest for 20-25 minutes, then fry it up. Your breading should stay put.
I have to be dairy free. I can use coconut milk and make that curdled . But what about the whey protein powder sub? How about collagen peptides? Egg white protein powder?
I've heard of people using full fat coconut milk as a buttermilk substitute. Usually, you add some apple cider vinegar to it. I've never done with this myself, though. Egg protein might work but afaik collagen powder doesn't work for these types of recipes.
Annie used whey protein powder, darling. Check Annie’s description box for links to full recipe & links for Isopure powder @Amazon. I’m gonna try the recipe this week! 😊
How timely, but a day late. I grabbed a 2-piece extra crunchy KFC meal last night. I subbed coleslaw for the potatoes and water as my beverage, but I did eat the biscuit and honey for dessert. I am OMAD. I was craving KFC and indulged. 🤷♀️ I look forward to trying your low-carb version, although I might try baking in the oven but will drizzle the coated chicken with melted butter, both sides. I learned this oven-fried method for razor clams from a local radio host (RIP) and have never looked back! Clams are much thinner so his recipe used the broiler and both sides crisp up fast. I will see how the chicken does in bake mode but might broil first (or last) to see how it crisps up. The drizzeled butter us the key! 😋 EDIT: 40 years ago, my cousin shared a recipe for oven-baked chicken using Bisquick. It was great and I made it a lot when raising my family! I haven't cooked with Bisquick since keto and forgot about this so I googled bisquick oven-fried chicken and found it. I will make the posted keto recipe but will follow the instructions for oven-baked. And it only uses 1 T. butter! When you bake it in the butter first, skin side down, it renders enough fat from the skin so when you turn it over, there's fat to crisp up the bottom side.
I oven fry chicken with keto coatings all the time! It definitely works. My go-to is a mix of almond flour and parmesan. Sometimes I add some pork panko if I want less parmesan.
@@jodybogdanovich4333 I like the convenience of oven fried myself, but I do think Annie's come up with a good solution for deep fried chicken which is sometimes just what you want - priced by your first into KFC! 😄
i just clicked on the link for the protein powder you used. is there a less expensive protein powder that would work just as good. $27.00 is a lot to spend on this one item on amazon. I am on a fixed income. thanks
Rub a little mustard on the chicken. No need for egg wash, the mustard will hold the breading and you will not taste any mustard since it cooks off while frying. I prefer pork rinds. An air fryer might work best for this. Keto breading tends to burn and you need the chicken 165 degrees.
@Lucinda Jackson yes I never pan fry chicken anymore. I think no matter what, you are going to have some issues with beading since it's not reg flour. Check out Victoria's keto kitchen on tube. She has a flour mix called "perfected flour". I mix it up and use that. 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup ground up pork rinds works for me. I still think an air fryer would work best with chicken. Have not tried it yet though. Cooking it low and slow might be best?
Sometimes you just gotta get old fashioned with it and put your coating ingredients in a plastic bag, drop your chicken in it and toss it around in the bag for a more complete coating
I haven’t tried it in the air fryer. I don’t think it would work as well because you need oil to form the crust. My recipe for chicken strips can be made in the air fryer. www.ketofocus.com/recipes/keto-chicken-tenders/
Sounds like the almond flour hurt more than it helped. Also, chicken doesn't have to be cooked to 165 to be safe. The FDA recommendation is a graph of heat over time. You only need to cook it to 150 or 155 and hold it for a period of time (usually about a minute) to get the same level of safeness as hitting the absolute temperature of 165.
I tried the protein powder method. This version is crispy and taste good, but it smells like fish when you fry it. My husband asked me stop frying because it was so awful. I never fry fish in my house. It was new oil. The isopure protien smells like fish. I'm not sure I would use use this version again just because of the odor. I would try another version.
Meat adds a great many vitamins and minerals, but some folks cannot eat all the meats due to intolerances and personal aversions. I am allergic to shellfish and must severely limit my dairy and pork intake due to poor bodily responses. Others eat once a day, and that one meal may not provide all the daily value of vitamins and minerals. Supplements and electrolytes cover some of the blindspots that this diet (as many) cannot wholly fill.
Everyone needs electrolytes, most people on carnivore and keto don't eat processed garbage so we're not getting all the salt just eating whole foods. As I said EVERYONE needs electrolytes, you'd feel like crap without them and it's actually dangerous.
@@KetoFocus at the end you mentioned two others. I looked at your website as well. I guess I'll have to try them all. Don't want to buy ingredients i don't have to. Thanks

I use protein powder for making General Tso's chicken. I find it gives a tempura-like coating to the chicken pieces, and stays crunchy!
Just protein powder and if so which type and brand?
I am also curious! I have never dabbled in protein powders, so any advice is greatly appreciated :)

@@KetoFocus True. Your chicken definitely looks like kfc chicken. I will give your recipe a try. Thank you!
I have always mixed unflavored whey protein powder and pork panko to get the best crispy crust.
My southern mom in law & her mother taught me to put chicken in a salty ice water bath for an hour or so before patting dry & cooking 😉
Although it might make the meat more tender I would not do that. You'll wash out all water soluble vitamins with that soak
What does that do?
@@Mish2Legit
Kind of makes the chicken more tender & flavorful
This will leech out some of the excess moisture in the meat, which will make the coating less likely to lift off it after cooking.

Question, when making keto Fried Chicken how do we measure how much fat is being absorbed into the chicken as it's being deep-fried?
Ok, I like ur buttermilk , I use oat fiber for my 1rst dip. I dip in the egg again then my crushed rinds.

I wonder how this would work in an air fryer?
I bet perfect! Just spray the outside with avocado oil.😘
Try our chicken! We JUST started shipping.🐓📦♥️
I tried the protein powder method. This version is crispy and taste good, but it smells like fish when you fry it. My husband asked me stop frying because it was so awful. I never fry fish in my house. It was new oil. The isopure protien smells like fish. I'm not sure I would use use this version again just because of the odor. I would try another version.
That's so strange. I didn't smell that at all. It just smells like frying chicken.
Did she count the original use of the salt because she only mentioned 10 spices for the rub.
I got lost at buttermilk mix
The breaking falling off is my biggest problem, used lots of combos with no success, thanks.
Quick question:. If carnivore is healthy why do we need electrolytes?
Meat adds a great many vitamins and minerals, but some folks cannot eat all the meats due to intolerances and personal aversions. I am allergic to shellfish and must severely limit my dairy and pork intake due to poor bodily responses. Others eat once a day, and that one meal may not provide all the daily value of vitamins and minerals. Supplements and electrolytes cover some of the blindspots that this diet (as many) cannot wholly fill.
Everyone needs electrolytes, most people on carnivore and keto don't eat processed garbage so we're not getting all the salt just eating whole foods. As I said EVERYONE needs electrolytes, you'd feel like crap without them and it's actually dangerous.
You shed alot of water, and the electrolytes gets flushed out too.
Pork rinds smell so bad. Is pork panko in the jar less stinky?
not sure BUT i add garlic powder and creole seasoning its awesome. You don't smell any pork once fried.
They're just breaking up the food chain.
SO fine.
"protein" ;)
😋
Chicken sucks.
The only way I like it, is with a crust.
Gonna have to try this.
You would have had me at gin and tonic
Why don’t you just mix them all together
Checked the price of whey and 2 cups would be 27 bucks. Pretty pricey fried chicken imo
Got 5 pounds for 65.00. It's so light it looks like 10 pounds if it was flour.
Funny girl. Nice video.
Instead of buying chicken at the store you should raise your own chickens the chickens that they sell at stores are pretty gross
They have thighs but not legs?😮😮😅
I didn't see any juicy chicken. That chicken was super dry....
Ugh!!! Of course the element ad!! So sick of these keto food channels pumping their products!!
Am i missing something? You don't say what the best recipe is.
Yeah I do 😆 At the end. It’s the breading using three protein powder
@@KetoFocus at the end you mentioned two others. I looked at your website as well. I guess I'll have to try them all. Don't want to buy ingredients i don't have to. Thanks
