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:
