Low Carb Southern Fried Chicken Strips Recipes

LOW CARB SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least 1-inch of vegetable oil for boneless chicken and 2 inches for whole pieces. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature, or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for this.)
• In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix all the breading ingredients together.
• Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Dip it first in the breading, then in the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well on all sides. Pat off any excess breading and then carefully place into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, just a few minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Boneless chicken breasts, if thinly cut, may cook all the way by frying alone, but whole chicken will not because of how fast soy flour browns. It is best to place any chicken you fry with soy flour on a sheet pan and finish by baking at 350 degrees F for an additional 10 minutes for boneless chicken and 20 to 25 minutes more for cut up chicken pieces that have bones. The internal temperature of the chicken should register 165 degrees F. Serve immediately.

KETO BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• If any of the chicken slices are thicker than 1/4 inch, pound them out one at a time between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• Lay out the chicken on a baking sheet or plate and sprinkle all over with salt and just enough of the almond flour to lightly coat both sides.
• Beat the eggs in a wide shallow bowl. In another wide, shallow bowl, mix the remaining almond flour with the Parmesan, paprika and garlic powder.
• Dip 1 to 2 slices of chicken in the eggs to coat. Let the excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour-Parmesan mixture. Return to the baking sheet or plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat 1/4 inch of ghee or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add half the chicken and cook until golden on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more ghee or oil if needed. Serve with lemon wedges.

LOW CARB KETO CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with any fat of your choice.
• Set up two shallow medium bowls: place the mayonnaise in one and in the other stir together the pork rinds, whey protein powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Toss the chicken strips in the bowl with the mayonnaise. Take a chicken strip from the bowl and remove any excess mayonnaise. Use the other hand to press the chicken into the breading mixture and scoop more breading over the top, submerging the chicken strip to coat on all sides. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken strips.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until just barely cooked through.
• Turn on the broiler. Place the chicken strips under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to crisp up more.

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken strips until no longer pink in the center and coating is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

LOW CARB SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Heat your oil to 350 degrees, very important to maintain this temperature, do not overcrowd!
• Combine sifted flour and seasonings in a pie plate.
• Scramble eggs and milk in another pie plate.
• Dip a tender first in the soy flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into milk mixture, making sure it's coated all over, then back into soy flour mixture.
• Make sure it's covered good!
• Lay slowly away from you in the hot oil!
• DO NOT OVERCROWD YOUR PAN, YOUR CHICKEN WILL BE GREASY!
• Fry just until the coating gets good and golden brown.
• Lay on newsprint to drain well.
• Sometimes the chicken will brown before the chicken is cooked all the way.
• If this happens, spread it out on a cookie sheet and put in a preheated 350 degree oven until done.
• USUALLY this will not happen with tenders as they're thin and cook quickly.
• Enjoy!
