    3 eggs, ¼ cup coconut flour, ½ cup pork rind crumbs
  • Dredge 3 chicken tenders in coconut flour, coating all sides. Dip into whisked eggs, then return to the flour for a second coat. Dip again in the eggs, then press firmly into ground pork rinds until fully coated.

  • Add 2 cups avocado oil into a deep fryer or deep fry pan until chicken can float or is mostly submerged. Heat oil to 350 degrees F / 177 degrees C.
    2 cups avocado oil
  • Carefully lower chicken into hot oil, away from your body. Do not move for 2 to 3 minutes to set the crust.
    3 chicken tenders, 2 cups avocado oil
  • Fry until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C. Remove and let rest before serving.

A regular piece of fried chicken can have about 20 g net carbs.  This keto-friendly fried chicken only has 2 g net carbs.  Master this breading technique and you can bread anything: chicken, fish, cauliflower, etc.  Use non-GMO safflower oil for frying.  Safflower oil is good because it can withstand high temperatures, unlike extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil.
