Keto Fried Chicken
Keto Fried Chicken
"Prepare your tastebuds for homestyle cooking — the keto way. This keto fried chicken recipe is the ultimate summer backyard BBQ dish, and is guaranteed to wow your keto and non-keto guests alike. Coated in a golden Southern-spiced, gluten-free batter made from almond flour, this fried chicken is low in carbs and higher that average in protein. To up the nutrition, it’s fried in a homemade tallow — a healthy cooking fat that’s rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids. Aside from being way more nutritious than most fried chicken recipes, our version has the crunch you’re craving. Pair it with a tangy (keto-approved) coleslaw, and you’ve got yourself a comforting meal that’s as healthy as they come."

In another small bowl, crack the egg and beat with a fork.
