"Breaded" Chicken Wings without the Carbs - Carnivore Diet

[@LauraSpath]

TLDR: Use pork rind crumbs and parmesan cheese! 😜 It's not that complicated but still a fun video to watch. You could try it with Chicken "tenders" as well. Let me know if you try it!

[@joannelee9392]

My husband and I enjoy watching your videos. We are fairly new to Carnivore and have some questions about different things especially regarding Diabetes. We would love to have the opportunity to meet you and Chris in the near future. We live in Green Valley, Arizona about 2 hour from Gilbert.

[@myrajefferson3672]

I made them and they were so good! I added a little cayenne pepper for a little extra kick!

[@MAJanssen]

Egg shells are direct correlation to age of laying hen. That and observing the height and color of the yolk will tell you how "old" the hen is. Thicker shell, taller, more yellow yolk is fresher and good!

[@ruthtopley4839]

What a great idea, Laura! Thanks so very much!

[@deedeeschwab2512]

Gonna try this; I love a crunchy chicken! Yay! 😂

[@cakeladync]

Just started a carnivore diet yesterday. Hoping to be able to reverse my type 2 diabetes and get some relief from the tons of inflammation in my body. 🤞

[@KarlaBening-zc7vl]

Me Too. Started this week. CAD disease, inflammation.

[@Barefootkid61]

When I started I was a vegan and in so much pain I couldn't walk. For 3 days I peed out all that inflammation from the veg and fruit, and by the end of the week I could walk, I haven't had any joint pain since. I now fast 25 to 30 hrs before I eat, and it keeps the inflammation down. I have lipedima, this way of life is the only thing that helps keep lipedima at bay. I'm very fortunate I am only a stage 2, and will be able to keep it that way as long as I fast and eat carnivore, low carb Let me add that when I was vegan I gained weight and after I stopped eating vegan I haven't had any problems with inflammation.

[@QnBrunhildis]

You definitely will reverse the type 2. I did in 3 months time. Stick to the carnivore diet...no cheating on it. Make sure you chart your A1c monthly. Walmart sells the at home A1c tests. There are 2 per box. Kept with the other diabetic supplies. These tests are spot on with the ones the Dr's office does. Just make sure you take the test fasting first thing in the morning. Make sure you've not had anything for 12 hours but water. You can drink sparkling water if you enjoy the fizz you get from sodas. Remember, read labels on everything. Even fake sugars count as sugar even if it doesn't say so. You want to be as low carb as you can get. It's the easiest diet and yet the hardest too. Easy because it only takes a moment to decide what to eat. The hardest because it can get boring and no matter what other people say, you WILL still have some cravings. You'll be glad you went carnivore when your diabetes is gone along with other health issues.

[@COVID-cm4rn]

I started on keto 3 months ago and lost 30lbs. and brought my A1c down from 11.1 to 6.9. It can be done.

[@michelleboyer9782]

My husband makes our own tallow. When we bake them first and then fry in tallow, you can get them extra crispy. Then toss with seasoning or a mix of butter and hot sauce for hot wings. Yummy!

[@RuthK-b5i]

You are so right about the eggs. I get eggs from my neighbor that has chickens. The shells are so thick and hard. If she doesn't have enough I get them at Costco or Sam's and the shells are so weak in comparison. Can't wait to try your chicken wings! Thanks !

[@COVID-cm4rn]

I agree i was just telling my mom that the eggs are different nowadays. All kinds of things the food industry is messing with.

[@cydleger7906]

It also works with steak strips and pork chops.

[@LauraSpath]

That would be so good!!

[@TidyWhitey]

What AF temp and time do you use to make the steak strips, please?

[@bwillan]

Yep. "Breaded" pork chops is what I cook in the winter months before grilling season. The only thing I grill in the winter is steak.

[@Alex-sr3ez]

As a life long lover of cooking, I’m typically hesitant about recipes like this “faux breaded” wings but I had some wings and pork rinds and decided to give it a try. I’m truly impressed. I just started this carnivore diet recently but this is a recipe I can see using even if I wasn’t on a a carnivore diet. The biggest benefit over flour breading is this “breading” stays crispy. This is a winner!

[@DonnaHarper-lg9pw]

After we cook our wings, I brown butter & add minced garlic & a little hot sauce in the melted butter, then we use the butter as a dip or just pour over the wings & toss them. I don’t do any type of breading but I will be doing this for sure! 😊😋😋😋

[@kristylee4295]

Yum, that sounds really good! Great idea, thanks!

[@jona5517]

I like to make a garlic butter parm sauce to toss the wings in sometimes.

[@prunelle19]

I have been making this 50/50 pork rind/parmesan breading for over a year and I use it to deep fry fish or chicken. I found out by chance one day where, not having enough pork rind crumbs, I tried to add more parmesan to it and it worked better than anything I've tried before. I use the very dry powdery parmesan as it makes a better coating and stays on well when deep frying in fat and....the food is not greasy at all! I have even made crispy egg rolls with it.

[@christinajones3022]

I've been using parmesan cheese for breading for years!!! I use pork rinds for pork chops. For wings I add cayenne pepper and turmeric into the breading as well.

[@TheStuppets]

I spritz them with Avocado oil spray prior to cooking and get even better crunch 😊

[@saltedllama2759]

My favorite part may have been a sweatshirt that simply says...BUTTER. :D

[@marcusreuben4865]

Hahahaha yes, I didn’t even notice till you said

[@TraceyJennings-c2x]

Doing this with chicken tenders has been life changing. Pork rinds are the best way to get crunch.

[@jona5517]

Works with baked pork chops too.

[@andrewgraybill7920]

You are the best Laura, Thanks! Keep posting such great content and you should be the first Carnivore channel to 1 million subscribers...

[@katecollins3894]

We use the airfryer that is also an oven. I line the basket with parchment paper. Dry the skin, liberal Redmond's and put a bit of lard on each wing and air dry, Turing half way. I then turn back and grill. The skin gets so crispy. I can wait though to try these.

[@lurahlee1]

I love your simple no measure recipes!!!

[@jamiebrown-nugent9120]

I'm a texture person, so that's my biggest hang-up with eating this way!

[@kimfromarkansas2084]

Hi Laura, how is your grandfather doing? Tell him hello from your YT friends. I so enjoyed that interview with him. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@kiwisquaw23]

Have you ever thought about soaking the wings in Buttermilk the night before? It tastes amazing!

[@LauraSpath]

Great idea! I have done pickle juice before which adds a lot of flavor!

[@chris_losin_it]

Looks amazing!!Things I use the pork rind and Parmesan cheese mixture: Chicken fried steak Chicken fried chicken Chicken tenders Canned chicken or ground chicken to make chicken nuggets And when I’m up to it or I’m feeling adventurous, I make fried pickles with the coating. Yummy!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the recipe. Can’t wait to make these!!!

[@davmicbart]

Have you published a cookbook? If not what are you waiting for? 😉. I am 67 and will be starting carnivore on Jan 1. I hate trying to use my phone or KZbin for recipes! I know I need variety or it will be a challenge to maintain this new lifestyle! Being selfish but I really like your recipes

[@RSGuitars]

You are not wrong on the egg shells and their density. Good ol' white eggs will be brittle in comparison to pasture raised organic.

[@sarathor8226]

I did this recipe today and it turned out fantastic! Thanks for this! ❤

[@charlsiepecoraro]

Can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!

[@pjc7351]

Buffalo Wild Wings plain flats are cooked in tallow (my favorite) with blue cheese dip (blue crumbles, sour cream, dash buttermilk) is amazing. This looks wonderful too!

[@Karisa1316]

The egg shells are thinner on conventional(and more so than they used to be I’ve also noticed), it has to do with the health of the chickens. On a higher quality egg, the shells are definitely different

[@VeldaE12]

It’s more the nutrition and age of chickens - shells are a matrix with minerals such as calcium. Not enough minerals weakens shells. A chicken can be healthy by industry standards yet low in minerals and lay eggs with weak shell.

[@Karisa1316]

@ Yes, Nutrition of the chicken is what I meant when I say health.

[@BillMooney-r5c]

When I bread stuff, I will also dredge them in Whey Protein Powder, before the egg bath, the same way you dredge in flour, normally. I have found it helps keep the breading better.

[@JaxxNThBoxx]

I've done that too. I also use dried beef gelatin to make them extra crispy

[@lislfourie2909]

Thank you Laura, sounds great. Can you make a video on how to make home made chips, please.

[@teresacarroll8043]

Thanks I never linked the headaches to low electrolytes ❤

[@ruthebbinghaus1078]

So funny--I love the flats and my husband loves the drummies as well!

[@aliciadavies2547]

Yummy...I'm making these for Christmas Eve...Thank You 🎉

[@gracemaxwell6157]

Thank you for sharing this recipe ❤

[@redtillimdeadsmithsmith4437]

Im so excited about this❤

[@DougBell-h7o]

Works great with chicken legs also and they are way more inexpensive. I can eat 20 or so wings but am good with 5 or 6 legs legs are 99cents to around 1.39 per lb wings are around 2.50 to 3.50 per lb. And why are people still trolling lmnt if you do not want maltodextrin use the plain unflavored at least lmnt sponsors videos to help people out .

[@phossilphil4201]

Love how everyone advertises LMNT, but it's not available in New Zealand, seems like only Canada and the US. Have struggled to find anything similar, the best I can do is just use salt

[@allieeverett9017]

Nothing wrong with that 🙂

[@Barefootkid61]

Celtic salt is a superior electrolyte! Just a pinch, a swish, and 4 Oz of water a few times a day and your good! LMNT is expensive and you don't need it if you have celtic salt.

[@oliviaedralin1436]

Can’t wait to try this! Thank you!

[@SPDATA1]

Thank you! 🎉

[@rebeccahemker4623]

Great Recipe!! Chicken Thighs=Dark Meat Chicken Wings=White Meat ❤

[@jamietrafton158]

Thank you Laura and Chris for sharing. Yum yum can’t wsit to try.

[@lynnpoag8173]

Oh, I will try this. I do miss the crunch of fried chicken!! Thanks so miss for sharing!❤

[@jillbrenda]

We make the drumette portion of the wings all the time and they come out really crispy in a much simpler way although I am sure yours are amazing. We just put a bunch of the drumettes on parchment in the oven at 450 after about 30 minutes or so. I take them out and brush them with melted butter and add seasoning and put them back in for maybe five more minutes and they are crunchy. We do add buffalo sauce or barbecue sauce or teriyaki sauce afterwards.

[@michaelmoore7550]

Should have included your Ranch dip! I'm addicted to that recipe!!!!

[@Fattboy79]

That looks great I can’t wait to try it for myself god bless you and your family and Merry Christmas and happy holidays

[@brandysnow45]

Love this simple fried chicken recipe 😊

[@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh]

I am going to try this recipe tomorrow. Looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ✌🏼😎💯

[@amaliachavez844]

Im gonna try LMN,THANK YOU !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤YOU ALL ARE GREAT!!!!

[@tonyibarra9171]

You actually do beyond awesome. 🎉

[@jeepssnow9506]

Glad you’re sharing this breading recipe with others. I haven’t up on adding Parmesan to my Pork Rinds a few years ago and have used it ever since on chops & chicken mostly. Tajin is so addictive! For those who haven’t tried it, yet even a small or travel size-it perks up everything-eggs to steak! Merry Christmas Spath family + a blessed New Year🎉

[@cziegle3794]

Yay top 33 and top 3 likes and comments. Clicked on video 3 minutes after it was posted. Thanks for making this video. Best to you and your family. Happy holidays

[@Nottoooldmama]

They need sponsors. That helps fund their podcast, which are not cheap to make and it is a business. 😊

[@dianahamilton4883]

Redmond Salt makes an organic seasoning salt that's really good! I bet it would be awesome on these for flavor without a lot of spiciness.

[@patriciadowd2948]

These look great and I would love your Ranch dip recipe. I agree with another subscriber that would be so good with these.

[@bpsbps882]

Good one Laura, thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@j.d.williams6882]

You introduced me to beef tallow with the thighs. Did them tonight and they were delicious. Could you fry these in the tallow, maybe not with the parm. Who knows, love the vids. Easy to follow for a rookie carny. Thanks

[@robinbishop8423]

Thanks for all of the fun and creative recipe ideas. I’m like you - definitely keep a pile of salt next to me for most meals!

[@GlendaMixer-jz7vc]

That is amazing. The spices stuff at the end has MSG that's why I make my own.

[@LauraSpath]

Making your own is great, the one I used doesn't have MSG 👍🏼 but some brands might, always good to check.

[@kx4sam]

These are in my oven right now. Thanks for sharing

[@Casca1997Berserk]

This looks tasty & crunchy 😋. I'm definitely making this soon, its been a couple of years.

[@sheebathefunnyrescuedog692]

Eggs shells are different colours depending on the breed of chicken, not on what they are fed.

[@lisagags9751]

Did this tonight thighs and pork rinds delish!

[@aruppert314]

My main cheat that I use with chicken wings because it seems to be OK for me personally is the use of some cornstarch and baking powder to make the chicken wings extra crispy in the oven! But there are otherwise really basic it’s basically a teaspoon each of those two plus a teaspoon of salt For each pound of chicken wings and I absolutely love these as one of my go to carnivore snacks! Even if you don’t use the cornstarch or baking powder which really helped the other thing I do is to lay them all out on a wire rack on a baking sheet with the salt overnight in the fridge which helps get them extra dry. So this might be a way to get some crunchy wings perhaps even without the baking powder or cornstarch.

[@Gaby-wm1bo]

Definitely agree with the eggs now. They do crumble when you’re pouring it in the pan. But I do seem to find the brown eggs crack less. But because of pricing I get the white eggs from Costco

[@has25252]

You're not wrong about the eggs being more fragile. I have lived off and on in Eastern Europe and the eggs there are different - shells are much harder and don't crack as easily. I think it's from a general decline in the health of the poultry and what they are feeding them.

[@billrichardsjr]

I use my air fryer for wings all of the time! Always crispy! Cuisinart makes perfect wings with out a coating! You need a different air fryer. Everyone thought I deep fried them.

[@TheInfluencergirl]

Slow cook at 350/315 for 1 1/2 hrs Use coconut oil to bathe the chicken wings in. They will come out very crispy.

[@kymberlyholcombe263]

Delicious, Chris and Laura! Thank you! as Emeril says, Bam! 😂

[@TheSlowCyclist330]

I just grill mine and put them in the air fryer there really crispy as long as you pat dry them good before you start

[@catherinekayne1071]

Ire makin a par crusted chicken king for years. Wings rolled in melted butter and then in seasoned Parmesan. Baked in oven .So good

[@deborrahdutra5599]

Oh my I can't wait to try that Thank you

[@sonjalang5201]

I’ve been doing this with Chicken tenderloins, just adding a half to 1 tablespoon of KFC copycat spice recipe to the Parmesan/Pork Rind mix (found on Nagi Recipe Tin Eats) and it’s totally rave worthy.

[@redtillimdeadsmithsmith4437]

Great video girl love from Oklahoma!

[@myTERRIficLife]

I’ve been wanting to do this! Didn’t think about adding Parmesan. Wings are considered white meat by the way (I think you said dark). Looks really good and will be doing this soon!!! 😊

[@garrynorth6199]

That recipe looks awesome, some spicy mix will definitely be going into my mix, maybe some hot paprika, Hi from Australia ❤.

[@watchmoivies123]

I will try this YUM. Hey I was tought if you use one hand for the wet (egg ). and the other hand. for the dry ( crumbs ) its much easier and not as messy!!

[@tribalbabymum]

I make them with pork crackles, and have had the family try both prepared, and they prefer the pork crackle ones. We do nuggets and strips.

[@jeanwoodall1523]

I add lemon pepper to ours. Sour is my favorite flavor. Had fish sinigang (Filipino sour soup and my favorite food; prefer pork, but I also like beef, fish, and seafood versions; don't like chicken versions) for dinner.

[@EWinGVL]

I 💯 agree about the egg shells. I was just telling my husband that I feel like they're a lot thinner!!!

[@Frankopinion]

Looks great! I like Crystals Hot Sauce on mine. I'm going to have to try this.

[@amandamiller9913]

❤Salt❤ Same girl,,,same!!

[@CarlaCobb-e4w]

Hemp yeah protien powder makes a great breading

[@Keith80027]

I don't have a air fryer yet but do heat up my LP grill to 400 degrees to cook chicken so it gets crispy. I thought that wings are white meat.

[@kx4sam]

Added lemon pepper.

[@asmradventureasmr]

I've been using this simple easy delicious combo for a few years now for chicken tenders, chicken nuggets & chicken fried steak. My nuggets taste a lot like Chik-Fil-A's.😊

[@TidyWhitey]

How do you do the chicken fried steak, please?

[@GiGiloveslot]

I like it very much 👌problem is I don’t know how to start? 😢Pl tell me how? Thank you 🙏

[@VeldaE12]

Good luck finding eggs right now! Millions of laying chickens have been lost to bird flu control efforts! Last trip to grocery store, the egg area was almost empty- I paid $5.99 for a dozen store brand large eggs!

[@paulj2948]

I crack eggs inside the side of the sink to avoid cleanup on counter.

[@GR-wd8jm]

Lol I Love the butter sweatshirt

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Ahhhh "breaded". Now I know what you mean. Funny how we use different words in different countries. Thank you.

[@carolynnmathisen8754]

Hi Laura. Can you do a video on alternatives to pork rinds? If you already have maybe tell me where it is in your substack. Thank you

[@barbaraholzgrebe4710]

Have you tried panko crumbs?

[@redshift328]

HA! LOVE the sweatshirt!

[@DeAnnaYah]

Awesome!! 😍

[@Rilinc75]

Hey luving❤ your content, and where did you get your jumper?

[@andrearoose5919]

What brand Parm is that?

[@kathymbca]

We want to start carnivore in the new year. Question 🙌 So, do we start full carnivore right off to start? Also, is the air fryer chemical free? And where is a good place to go for grassfed organic meat?

[@barbaraholzgrebe4710]

Try local cattle ranch. It makes it convenient. The bigger grocery stores I feel aren't as reliable. If you have Sprouts or Organic Grocery they have good clean food. There are some cattle ranchers that mail delivery. I know she will go to Costco and the grocery stores here in Arizona to buy her meats.

[@Sweeden007]

I dredge in butter. I have actually never used egg.

[@pamelareed973]

It’s what they don’t feed the chickens that makes a weak shell

[@leahhodrick3711]

Is there an alternative instead of the pork rib crumbs if you don't eat pork?

[@jeremyrobertson2229]

Gracie jiujitsu for life 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MamaBaer54]

I didnt have wings thawed but did have a pkg of tenders so I did this. They were delicious. I finally found pork panko at Walmart so I dont have to order from Amazon.

[@evanthea1]

Laura 100% the eggs are not the same anymore
