The SECRET to CRUNCHY KETO CHICKEN STRIPS + Keto Chick-Fil-A Sauce

[@Woobi3]

My wife brought home an air fryer yesterday, made this today and they turned out fantastic, single and double coated to try both ways. Also did some "breaded" mushrooms and dill pickles in the same coating and all three were a winner. Thank you for providing three methods of cooking, makes it easier for people who don't have air fryers.

It all started back in January of 2018, when my youngest daughter, Alma, began to have seizures. This occurred three months after we moved from Sweden to Spain. To seek medical help for Alma, my wife and two daughters had to return to Sweden. It took nearly four months for the doctors to determine that Alma was suffering from glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome. The doctors told us that there were only two ways to treat GLUT1 deficiency syndrome. Either, we had to treat Alma’s condition via medication - or we could put her on a ketogenic diet. And so, after a ton of research on keto diet I found an amazing book, Alma started eating keto. Time went by and Alma got used to her new diet. She’s feeling amazing now and has normal glucose levels.

[@40KoopasWereHere]

Instead of the almond flour, which I'm always looking for a substitute for because I really don't like it in much of anything, you could use some unflavored protein powder. When protein powder gets liquid mixed with it, it gets very sticky, and is an easy keto replacement for coating with regular flour.

[@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial]

Thank you! I've heard that as well!

[@minadarling8584]

i had to double the dry ingredients and eggs for 1 lbs to chicken, and it turned out super crispy and delish!

[@sarasara-yq7kp]

After giving birth to my first child about ten years ago, I joined a popular weight loss group in my area. At first, I thought it was amazing - you could eat as much food from an allowed list as you like, and you could still have treats like crisps and chocolate as long as you counted them. I lost a lot of weight quite quickly but got to a point where I just couldn’t stick to this plan anymore. I had an uncontrollable urge to eat everything that wasn’t allowed on the diet plan. Ultimately, I just ended up binge eating everything I wasn’t supposed to be eating. At this point, my mental health had taken a nosedive. I suffered from terrible social anxiety and was at a complete loss. I saw one of my online friends was having great success with a ketogenic way of eating. It sparked my interest, and I ended up doing extensive research and came across an article about keto and decided to try it. Within a few weeks, my mental health was so much better. My head felt clearer, and my anxiety was decreasing. But more importantly, the constant urge to binge has gone. I finally felt like my life was not revolving around food.

That is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m glad that keto is helping your health and relationship with food

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Yep, what Madison said, because while the food processor works, I don’t like to clean it! LOL If you want to get fancy with your ziplock bag of pork rinds, you can use a rolling pin. My favorite is my flat meat tenderizer/pounder.

I make mine without almond flour. I saw them on Highfalutin' Low Carb--roll strips in oat Fiber, not oat flour, then egg, then seasoned pork panko--garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper and parm cheese, and fry in avocado oil. They are amazing, it's so nice to have crunchy food again. I did it on shrimp too, although the pork rinds didn't stick as well.

any idea for those that don’t eat pork please? any substitute?

Franz bakeries makes a Keto bread 🍞 toast it & grind it in a food processor to make breading. Sola also makes a Keto bread. I'm sure there are other options too.

[@pinkprimrose5339]

[@DesPardesCuisines]

Thanks for sharing but any substitute for pork for those don’t eat it ?

[@Krystal9008]

Almond flour, crushed nuts or keto bread crumbs

[@DesPardesCuisines]

Thanks 😊 crumbs mixed with Parmesan might do the trick. Will try

[@patriciaharris8532]

What else can I use instead of pork rinds for the crunch

[@mcconn746]

For okra, my wife mixes the breading with the egg(s) and a little mild and pours it over the okra. She then just stirs it. It is easier and works a lot better than putting the okra in the liquid mixture and then in the breading. Why can't we do that with chicken strips???

[@amsohn1]

YummO... we call this Pork flour...

[@roblamastus]

Hmmm, I'm currently obsessed with Nashville Hot Chicken. Might have to try pork panko substitute.

[@mariasoto518]

I recommend you to soak the chicken tenders on pickle juice and he’ll come just like Chick-fil-A

[@pnwRC.]

I've tried the pork Panko, & wasn't a fan! Instead, I buy the Franz Keto bread, & throw em in the toaster oven, then after cooled, I pulverize in the food processor. It makes WONDERFULL breading for breaded foods on the Ketogenic lifestyle! It tastes very near the traditional breading we ate prior to Keto. 12G carbs, but with 11G fiber that nets me 1G carbs per TWO strips.

[@barbosborne1]

@$28 for 2 loafs??? wow...

[@pnwRC.]

@@barbosborne1 they're local to me so I buy it for $7.00 a loaf. I don't remember the price for the two pack at Costco, but I know it wasn't much more than $10.00

[@TheOtterBear61]

I've seen a number of people use protein powder for a crispy crust. Have you tried that and if so, what did you think of it?

[@KetoFocus]

I have tried it. It works but you have to cook them at a lower temperature for longer because the protein powder burns easier. I mention it in the recipe post on the website. You can use it as an alternative to the almond flour

[@patriciaharris8532]

Ageless LX does it have alot of sugar. I need it to be 1gram of sugar

Hey Annie, love your videos. What can I use instead of pork rinds? I am in Australia and can't find any here. Thank you x

[@KetoFocus]

Hi! Glad you like the videos. There are a couple different options. You can make your third bowl a 1:1 mixture of almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese or you can use only unflavored protein powder as your third bowl. The thing with the protein powder is that you have to cook the strips at a lower temperature or else the protein powder starts to burn before the chicken is cooked through.

[@pnwRC.]

Have you experimented with Turnips for waffle fries? I was really missing cornbeef hash! After Watching Steve's video, I made some for breakfast today using Turnips to replace the taters. It ain't quite like teh real cornbeef hash, but it was a darn good substitution! I'm curious if the Turnips would sub well for the waffle fries, since they seem to pan fry very similar to taters!

[@latoyacarr6281]

I was going to mention them as well. Turnips definitely make for better French fries than rutabagas, so it seems like they would be better as waffle fries.

[@elliereborn5204]

What is pork panko

[@AryxJG]

I use a similar recipe and like you, I’m not a big fan of using almond flour in my “breading”. Instead I use unflavoured whey isolate. Cheers from Canada

[@KetoFocus]

I like the protein powder too. I just don’t like having to use a lower cooking temp when frying. It burns easily and I feel like if I have bigger cuts of chicken, they don’t get cooked all the way before the crust burns
