Crispy, flaky and juicy keto fried chicken fried to absolute perfection using the BEST low carb breading recipe out there.  This low carb fried chicken recipe is entirely grain free, gluten free, nut free and pork free….because chickens are not made of pork…

Do you miss Kentucky Fried Chicken and wish there were a low carb version? Well, look no further because I’m about to blow your mind with this AMAZING keto fried chicken recipe.
It’s just like the real deal! That’s right. This crispy fried chicken recipe is just like KFC fried chicken.  Actually, it’s even better!
Did you know that one piece of Extra Crispy Chicken Thigh on the bone from KFC has 9g net carbs.  That’s one tiny little piece of chicken for 9g! Plus, we all know that nobody eats just one piece.  So 2-3 pieces of chicken thighs would equal to 18-27g net carbs just for chicken! And that’s just for chicken.
This is where the best part comes in.  My recipe for this super crispy and juicy keto fried chicken has less than 0.5g per chicken thigh! If you add spices to your batter then the carbs will slightly go up, but will still be under 2g net carbs!
And because this is fried with whey protein, it fills you up faster than normal breading so you don’t need to eat that many pieces of my low carb fried chicken recipe.

THE ULTIMATE KETO FRIED CHICKEN BREADING

What you want to use is whey protein isolate.  Whey protein is the ultimate secret to getting that perfect low carb KFC fried chicken.  It sticks to the chicken, bubbles up in the oil and becomes super crispy when eaten, just like the real deal!

WHAT KIND OF WHEY PROTEIN IS LOW CARB?

Not all whey protein are created equal.  You’ll definitely want to check the ingredients label and nutritional information on your whey protein bottle.

A lot of whey protein powders have added sugars or flavourings. You want to choose an unflavoured whey protein from a reputed brand.

CHOOSE UNFLAVOURED WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE

It’s important you get whey protein isolate and not any other kind. Whey protein will usually have added ingredients like sugar, fillers and additives.  On the other hand, whey protein isolate usually has no artificial ingredients added to it.

Whey protein usually has 2g of carbs per 1/4 cup, whereas whey protein isolate has less than 1g of carbs per 1/4 cup.

CAN I DEEP FRY ANYTHING ELSE WITH WHEY PROTEIN?

More to the point…is there anything you CAN’T deep are with whey protein???!

This easy keto breading works for any type of protein. Whether it’s meat or fish, apply the same methods as this recipe and you’ll have different fried meals.

Here are some protein options that you can deep fry with whey protein:
Pork slices
Pork chops
Pork tenderloin
Beef slices
Steak
Ground beef, pork, chicken
Any type of fish (salmon is my favourite)

WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD I DEEP FRY MY CHICKEN?

When making keto fried chicken with whey protein isolate, I suggest deep frying your chicken between 140-150C/280-300F.  If you deep fry your chicken pieces at a higher temperature than that, the whey protein isolate will burn before the chicken can get cooked.

The HOW TO:

Preheat your oil to 140-150C/280-300F.
Once your meat is ready, you’ll then start the breading process.
Crack a couple of eggs into the chicken and mix until all of the chicken pieces have been coated well with the eggs.
Add the whey protein powder to a large plate and dip one piece of chicken at a time into the protein powder. Make sure that all sides of your chicken is coated with the protein powder before frying.
Add your pieces of chicken into the hot oil one at a time, but don’t over crowd the pot. You want to make sure that each piece of chicken deep fries properly and becomes crispy.

Pro tip: Wash the utensils and bowls that touched the whey protein immediately as it’s harder to wash off once it’s dried.

Serve immediately as fried chicken is best served freshly out of the oil!

FINAL TIPS

Before making my low carb fried chicken recipe, make sure to read the following tips and ticks to make sure you make the BEST keto fried chicken recipe!

Make sure to use unflavoured whey protein isolate and not whey protein powder.

You can’t make this low carb fried chicken recipe with an air fryer.
You must cover the raw chicken with an egg before coating with the whey protein isolate. This is how you ensure your fried chicken breading sticks to the chicken.
Deep fry each chicken pieces in oil that’s about 140-150C/280-300F. Higher than that and your batter will burn before the chicken is cooked.
You can use any type of spice you want.
