What an amazing breading recipe that you created!! I made chicken thighs tonight with it and they were delicious! Thank you so much for all of your spot on creations!!

[@myheadofhair]

Just a suggestion but I am sure you can add your crumbs to a Ziploc bag and mix it that way. My grandmother did it this way with conventional flour and saved her flour and placed the Ziploc bag with flour in the freezer to prevent any contamination etc. I am sure since you stated these crumbs freeze well if you premake your tenders it seems as though the crumbs would stay well in the freezer. That way, you can always have the "flour" (carnivore panko) mixture already made up while not having to create any waste 💕. Hope this makes sense. That way you can add all of the chicken tenders in the bag, shake it up all at once. Cook your chicken and then pop that same Ziploc bag right bag in the freezer for another day.

[@DeborahLorraine]

It didn't work for me! A lot of the breading balled up and then wouldn't stick to the meat. I'm wondering though if I discovered keto/, carnivore hush puppies! Because it was delicious!!

[@goneballistic]

@@DeborahLorraine sometimes if the chicken isn't dry, breading doesn't stick very well

[@denisec6577]

I did it! I used my leftover ribeye steak that was cooked medium. Cut into steak finger size. Coated the pieces in egg (I forgot to use the cream), then coated the fingers in your wonderful coating mix. I added my own home made ranch dressing mix for seasoning. Deep fried until the coating turned golden and crispy. I presented my daughter who is a very picky non-keto eater with a sample. Her eyes opened wide with delight. So I offered to split my serving with her . She accepted heartily! Thank you for all of your amazing R&D.

[@IndigoNili]

Love this! 😍

[@SimplyKeto20]

I just tried this tonight for dinner and all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Who would of thought adding egg white powder and gelatin to pork ring crumbs would make such an awesome breading for my fried chicken! I honestly feel it is the egg white powder fusing to the meat with the egg wash that helps keep it all together. In any case, this recipe is a definite game changer for sure!

[@MERANNDAIWALKWITHJESUSCHRIST]

Hi Do you use egg white powder protein or what kind do you use I’m very new to keto 😊

[@mickeyzalusky9312]

Wow. Wow. Wow. I made your coating mix, coated some pork loin chops and shallow-fried them. OMG! This is the best coating for fried anything I have ever made and I've been cooking for over 50 years! Thank you so much for your creative exploration of healthier foods!!!

[@wendyloohoo1967]

OMG - I coated chicken wings in this and cooked them in the air fryer last night. They were AMAZING! Tasted like regular fried chicken wings you'd get at Popeye's or someplace. I felt like I was cheating! LOL. I dry brine my wings (salt, pepper and garlic powder) for 8-12 hours in the fridge before I usually cook them in the air fryer, so they were flavored perfectly with the breading on them. I'm going to try seasoning some boneless skin on chicken thighs with Cajun seasonings (spicy fried chicken anyone?) and then breading them with this. I can't wait to see how they turn out. I'm also going to see if the pork rinds, egg white powder and gelatin can act as a bread crumb replacement in meatballs and meatloaf. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks so much for all the experimenting and sharing you do!

THANK YOU!!! In over 20 years of doing low carb, keto and carnivore (sometimes off and on in the earlier years) I never found a breading recipe that was this good. What I always used was half ground pork rinds and half parmesan cheese and was very happy with that but this blows that out of the water, SERIOUSLY! I did fry them in bacon grease too. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs because I already had some defrosted. I dare say that made them even better! I have never made chicken fingers with anything but breasts and this was perfectly juicy and chicken-y flavorful!

[@stephaniepotts9410]

Made this last night and it was so good. I do mine like Alton Brown. I have a cooling rack inside a cookie sheet for the battered chicken and the same for the ones coming out of the fry pan. I marinate in pickle juice, drain and pat dry. Then dip in wet, coat in crumbs, pressing the coating into the chicken, then put on the rack in the first cookie sheet. When all the chicken is breaded, I heat my bacon grease, fry and offload onto the second cookie sheet with a rack, which is keeping warm in a 250 degree oven. I added some Redmonds seasoned salt and lots of black peper to the breading mix. Served with G Hughes sweet and spicy bbq sauce.

[@landb3893]

Had something similar for supper last night. My recipe uses whey isolate (now egg white) protein and I do add spices (paprika, garlic, pepper) and I dip in egg only then fry in bacon grease…yummy. I make my own crumbs with plain pork rinds ground in my nutribullet

[@sweetrouble420]

I made these tonight but as chicken fingers. Oh my! I can't even tell you how much we loved them. Due to a PSMF day, I had to airfry and I can't wait to fry them. You are a kitchen genius, and I'm so grateful for all you do to help us eat healthy ❤️

[@ruthbiafora5443]

I can’t wait to one day just to sit down and binge watch all of your videos. I absolutely love you and so many channels I watch complement you and so well deserved. Thank you for all the hard work that you do that you have done to all of your followers. Going to try this. :-)

🥰🥰🥰

[@txgrandma3]

This is amazing. In my pre-LC/Keto days, I used to just bread chicken in flour and pan fry. It made the most amazing drippings that were almost as good as the chicken itself. I made this last night for dinner and it's definitely the closest I've come to duplicating it since giving up grains. (I did pan fry it.) It has a bit of a chewy texture and sticks to the chicken (or whatever you want) as well as white flour. I will be using this as a breading for other things as well. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea!

...thank you, I followed your breading recipe and my chix temders came out GREAT, they browned nicely and were crispy in the oil. I bought a pack of 6 tenders and cut your dry ingredients in half, had plenty to do a few onion rings, yum. What amazed me was the fact that I cut up some of the chix into pieces and mixed them in a salad and to my surprise the breading STAYED on the chix pieces even when I mixed in my salad dressings. Again a big thank you for the time and effort you put into getting it RIGHT 😊

Yum, I'm definitely going to try this. I liked Porking Good crumbs but they were too expensive for me to use regularly. So I get plain pork rinds from Aldi and blitz them in my food processor. I keep a large container on hand at all times. My husband even uses them for his fish fillets.

[@sofializzy4519]

Tried this today. My adult children enjoyed it & so did I. Thank you!

[@identityrefused486]

I've been keto for almost 5 years and tried many many variations for breading. This literally knocks the very best of them completely OUT OF THE PARK. I tried it 3 ways. 1. The way you dipped in egg mixture then the "breading" 2. Skipped the egg mixture and straight in the breading 3. Shook the chicken in a bag with oat fiber, then the egg mixture, then the breading mix. 1 and 3 were indiscernible between them. 2 was still so good and would totally work in a pinch. This is amazing!

[@IndigoNili]

🥰🥰🥰 So glad you like it!

I plan on trying this as soon as I can. I saw the fish 'short' and wondered if it would stick to Kahlrabi, Jicama or Zucchini fries. Mmmm, fish and chips.

I love this recipe! I actually make this up and keep it in my pantry. It works exactly as you stated it does not become a breading sleeve that slides off. It is great. I’ve used it in deep frying. I’ve used it in the air fryer, I’ve used it, not in the oven but I’m sure it will work fine in the oven because I don’t use the oven as much as I used to. But this is a winner, winner chicken dinner! Thank you so much thanks stay crispy and yummy and you could put whatever seasoning do you like in it

Congratulations Ms. Indigo! I just finished making your Protein Breading Recipe for the first time. And you nailed it!!! I had to make some adjustments based on what I had on hand. I use the breading on chicken livers and gizzards. The first winning event was that the breading did not separate from the meat in the grease, yeah. Then it cooked nice and crispy and taste expected. The breading did not hold grease like wheat flour can. I fried them in my cast iron skillet. My adjustments were I had to substitute lard for bacon grease, for the egg wash splash of milk I mix Buttermilk powder and water to make the milk 1Tsp each. And for the pork rinds I already had made my own from a bag of plain pork rinds . This recipe will totally be my go to forever. I had gotten so used to frying "bare" meats. The other great event is that this recipe was a success for me on the very fist try! So different from all the fails with the early Bread recipes ha!, ha! This is Keto, Carnivore, simple, cheap and easy. Thank you for doing all the work for us. You win the award for best All Purpose Keto Recipe of 2023!
