Wes I'm so glad your back, and wanted you to know and to Thank you. Because of what you have been doing, it helped saved my husband's life. His A1c started out at 9.7 in June when diagnosed with diabetes. It's is 5.4 and needs reduced by half for type 2. You have an amazing pallette and saved my Hyde many of times from these tests. You look amazing as well. Im riding this train with my husband and we both have lost nearly 80lb together. Thank you dearly for all these efforts. Sometimes people need to know they are appreciated. And that I do have for you and respect.

I use my blender for my pork panko, it makes them a lot finer. Then I put them in a zip lock and freeze, it helps take away the pork flavor

[@irishpixierose]

Interesting, I never thought to freeze my ground pork rinds.

[@teresaspensley5640]

I am actually making the pork pano ones tonight 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@jm22918]

I do the same. Make a big batch when pork rinds are on special. I dust with either oat fibre or bamboo fibre and always fry with avocado oil. Always successful for fish, chicken, whatever and you can't taste the pork flavour

[@elangomattab]

Woohoo, Wes is back! Pork panko breading is so good. I have been doing some chicken tenders like this recently and it is really good. I usually put the seasoning in the pork rinds instead of the egg but I don't think it makes much of a difference. I don't even really eat many pork rinds any more so I just grind grind up the whole bag in my food processors and use as needed.

[@ArgentinaCook]

Do you find that any left overs get gooey texture when using pork rinds?

[@cathypang1984]

You're back!! You look great and well rested! Take care of yourself. Nice to see you again 😊, Wes. Omg, you're makin' me hungry!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thank you! Good to be back! :-)

[@kaythompson8721]

1. You are looking amazing!! 2. I cook a lot of fish (walleye) because hubs goes to Lake Erie fishing frequently during the summer. I find, after I 'bread' it (regardless of what I use), if I put the fish on a rack on a baking sheet...and put it in the fridge for a 1/2 hour or so...it tends to keep the breading ON the fish, not in the hot oil.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Great tip! Thanks, Kay!

[@kimhr1069]

When I got home, my day got so much better when I saw the notification for your video!😁 Wes, you really look so much thinner! Thank you for another great video. I really appreciate your time and effort in researching these recipes and techniques. Also, thank you for sharing all of these websites. There are so many that I've turned to for inspiration thanks to you. ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you so much, Kim!

[@brianwayne7999]

I totally agree with you on the air fryer to oil frying.it takes me 45 minutes to get chicken wings to the crispiness I like and by then there over done

[@whygohome172]

I like pecan coated chicken but I bet it would be good for fish too.

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

For batter n fry methods, I've tried almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder & pork rinds. My fave so far is to double dredge - first using protein powder, then pork rinds. I'll keep it real though. I'm too lazy for that so I go right from the egg to the pork rinds. 😋 Great video! Sometimes trial & error recipe comparisons can get overwhelming (not your video but testing them out for myself) so these technique differences are much appreciated for more everyday cooking.

[@Bakingmom74]

So SO good to see you again!! Thank you so much for these videos!

[@susancelotto122]

My daughter is allergic to coconut so I use oat fiber as the first coating before the egg wash and sometimes mix a little Parmesan into the pork rind crumbs for chicken & fish

[@joannesmith3919]

I am so HAPPY that you are back. You are a great person Wes. Love you bunches 😉

[@theresabowles1460]

OMG you are looking amazing! Looks like Cali life is treating you good. I was so happy when I got the notice of a new video this morning.

[@jev2857]

1. I LOVE your channel and I am SO happy that you are back to posting - we missed you! 2. I have used YOUR interpretation of pork rind breading for a couple of years now (since your Chicken Tender Battle!) and have agreed with you that it was generally the best option out there. (even though it can taste a bit "pork-rind-y") 3. You have GOT to try Indigo Nili's version. It is AMAZING. It doesn't fall/slip off like many breadings do. It is super crunchy. It tastes amazing. It absolutely cuts the amount of "pork rind-y" taste to almost nil. It works for everything fried!!! Fish. Fried Chicken( and strips/nuggets!). Pork chops. ONION RINGS!!! You can prepare a bulk batch ahead and flavor to taste when you use it - Ranch, Cajun, Italian, TexMex, "Southern"!, etc. 4. Here is a link to her main recipe for this technique, but she has a few other videos showing specific applications: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4SQlGuvhtGZbK8

[@lauriejenkshale3371]

I am so glad to see you back, and you look FABULOUS! You're an inspiration Wes!

[@deedee67888]

I love using pork panko as breading. Instead of coconut/almond flour, I use oat fiber as a dredge. It has zero carbs and as far as I can tell it works just like AP flour.

[@jdmosaics]

Love you to try some Lupin Flour recipes please Wes ❤

[@Gypsy217]

I made this tonight. I added some "tartar" sauce of mayo, lemon juice, dill pickles chopped, capers, and dill weed..it was Fabulous! So glad to have something different for dinner for a change! Thank you!

[@johneubank8543]

I'm gonna try this. Looks great, though I tend to season the fish, then add the batter. The seaoning tends to get into the batter as it cooks and I feel I can control it better. But if someone thinks otherwise, pls let me know. I'm willing to reconsider. The post below, about the lady's husband's A1c going down, is inspiring. We have done so well on keto this year, and we've gotten several people close to us to join us, too. I do recommend your channel, Wes, to hopefully get people to see they can keep eating tasty, "normal" food on low carb or keto - but without all the carbs (with only a few). Your channel helps a lot of us! I make certain things I've learned about here all the time now - especially those seed crackers - we're crazy about them!

[@colleenmoras7887]

We've been able to find pork rinds at Walmart and Aldi's. Can't wait to try the pork rinds on my next fish fry. Thank you for another great video!

[@regular-joe]

Thanks for keeping in the hot frying sound - there's something so satisfying about it. Welcome back!

[@steph_hartleben]

"Sift ya'll". Love it. I have to tell you I was watching Steve from Serious Keto and he was doing a recipe with almond flour (I think it might have been a packaged mix, I can't remember) and he said something to the effect of I'm not going to sift ya'll with a giggle and then said I know you know where that comes from. I loved it! I even use the phrase when using regular flour for my non-keto recipes for others. Greatest saying ever!!

[@cayce9320]

Wes, the dredge in coconut flour before the egg batter likely made a BIG difference when frying foods (chicken, fish, etc.). Before Keto, I always dredged in flour, then beaten egg, then panko or cracker or dried bread crumbs. This was a technique I was taught be a friend who worked as a cook in a restaurant and that was their process. It helps the 3rd step/final coating stick better and it does really help with keeping the protein moist. I've used oat fiber mixed with coconut flour for the 1st dredging step. And for me, Old bay all the way🙃.

[@kylieann9254]

Hi Wes!!! As soon as I got this notification, I clicked on it so fast!! Hello from rainy Queensland Australia! Thank you for your videos! We appreciate it so much!! 🙏

[@lorim.4136]

Glad to see you are back! I no longer use almond flour at all. Pork panko is my favorite for the "breading" but I use whatever I have on hand or is expiring or reaching its "best by" date like carbalose flour, cheap grated parmesan cheese, ground golden flaxseed, shredded coconut with coconut flour. I use the dredge technique so I use carbalose flour, coconut flour, unflavored whey protein, egg white powder or oat fiber for that. I've stopped ordering the carbalose flour so I'm just using it up now as I am moving toward a much cleaner keto now. When I remember I put some seasoning in all dredging step mixtures so there is still some if losing a bit of breading but when it sticks I want the flavor to hit my tongue from the outside in. I also use paprika and onion powder but no thyme. I'll try that next time!

[@geraldloyd4998]

Hey Wes welcome back...I've been using the pork rind panko for a long while and it works beautiful. The only thing different is that I use a grass-fed based whey before the egg wash, and it works well for chicken fried steak, fried chicken, fish, venison, veggies, etc etc and my favorite of all pork chops all of which I do in my air fryer, and it turns out fantastic....i always hand smash my rinds for 30-40 secs in the bag then into the processor for 40-50 secs more leaving a very fine breading to work with...beats having to oil it all up in a skillet

[@ABoss-ox5mp]

I use ground pork rinds in my meatloaf instead of bread crumbs and it gives it so much more flavor. Love it !

Protein powder is also popular for frying instead of coconut flour.

This was a great video! I use Pork rinds mixed with some Almond flour all the time! LOVE it!! I wanted to share with you with a fish suggestion. I don't like a real strong "fishy" tasting fish. I found one that is absolutely wonderful. It is called Swai fish. It doesn't have a real strong fishy taste at all. It has more of a buttery taste that when breaded with a little almond flour and the pork rinds is the best fish you will ever taste. Just a tip for people that are like me with the strong fishy taste. You can pick it up at Walmart. I have sure missed your videos!

[@rfr64]

Im glad you found a fish you like, but you may want to read up on Swai. It’s the bottom of the barrel when it comes to mass produced/farmed fish. Then again, lobsters and shrimp are the cockroaches of the sea, so it is what it is! 😂

Hey Wes, glad you are back. You look 👀 great and I’m glad to see you healthy! I, like many, don’t find almond flour a satisfying breading. I’ll share my twist on using the pork panko. I use half pork panko and half finely grated Parmesan cheese, I get a satisfying crunch from this. I add my spices to the panko mixture. I dredge in egg white powder, eggs, panko mix. I dredge all of my protein, then I let it sit for about 5 minutes before frying. For some reason this seems to help the breading stay on better. I’m looking forward to your future videos 💞

I use a pork crumbs and parmesan mix, my favorite way for fried fish, pork chop, and things like that. My non-keto family thinks it just as good or better as old SAD way of making. Fried chicken is just ok with it, but I have very high standards for fried chicken, so far no method or ingredients compare my old recipe. But on good side eating ketovore, I miss it less. And making oven baked chicken skin chips is amazing.
