Fried Chicken & Waffles

8/9/2020

Chicken and waffles was a meal I ordered once in a blue moon because it always felt gluttonous and unhealthy. A "normal" standard American Diet version of this meal easily boasts 306 grams of carbohydrates and upwards of 123 grams of sugar; not even counting the sugar and carbs from any syrup you'd slather on top--YIKES!! (These nutrition facts I pulled from a popular restaurant's chicken and waffle menu version, eek!)

My keto version is about 6 grams of net carbs for an ENTIRE SERVING (2 pieces of chicken and 2 waffles PLUS keto maple syrup!) I no longer feel guilty eating this meal and neither should you. It's also become a favorite in my household with my kids.

I also opted to use my Cosori air fryer to cut out any further polyunsaturated fats that would have been used if I deep fried the chicken. More on polyunsaturated fats and MegaTrans fats in a separate blog post. For now, know that the air fryer option still produces a crispy crust while keeping the inside moist and flavorful. Bon appetite! 

Ingredients:
2-3 pounds skinless chicken thighs
3 cups pork pankos (pork rind "bread" crumbs)
1 cup shredded parmesan
1 cup almond flour
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon Pink Himalayan sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Waffle Recipe

Directions:
  1. Pour the almond flour, pork panko crumbs and beaten eggs in 3 separate shallow bowls.
  2. Add the spices, salt and pepper in with the almond flour. Mix and set aside.
  3. Add the parmesan cheese to the pork panko crumbs. Mix and set aside.
  4. Dip the chicken in the beaten eggs, then dip it in the almond flour mixture.
  5. Dip it back into the beaten eggs, then dip it in the pork panko mixture.
  6. Air fry the chicken in your air fryer at 400° for 25-30 minutes.
  7. Cook the waffles according to the recipe here. 
  8. Serve together with a side of Keto maple bacon.
