Creating thin crispy crust on meat


#1

The idea for today is to take boneless chicken thighs and pan fry them and toss in buffalo sauce.

Pre keto if I were to do this I would toss the thighs in flour to give a little crisp and something for the sauce to stick to, but now I will not use flour.

For other reasons I do not want to use pork rinds. Can you suggest any coating that will work?

Will almond or coconut flour crisp up the same way?

Have they got skin on ? Try a little baking powder, any spices and salt and pepper. I use it when I’m baking chicken wings and it does make them crispy. Otherwise just toss them in your seasoning and fry in hot lard or coconut oil!
Enjoy :yum:

First get your meat as dry as possible, ala Julia Childs. Then if you want it dust with coconut flour, it goes better with chicken than almond flour, then pan fry as normal. Should crisp up nicely. I learned about coconut flour and chicken before even going keto.

The particular ones I have now are skinless. I will try the coconut flour. Thank you
