When we started our low-carb keto diet, we set out to find the perfect breading for chicken. We knew there had to be a way to make low-carb, keto crispy chicken by adapting our traditional recipes in the box (yes, we still maintain a yellowed old-school box of notecard relics).
We started with almond flour dredging and baking, spraying with olive oil. It wasn’t that great. Then, we tried dredging in whey protein (finer powder) before pan frying and baking on a sheet pan with a rack. Still, we didn’t get the super crispy results we wanted.
Why didn’t we use an air fryer? Quite simply, we don’t have one in our kitchen. The oven does the job with all temperature settings we need for perfect crispy chicken. Note we do adjust temperatures at the end to ensure internal temperature of our chicken is perfect (just like the crispy outside).
After many trys, we landed on the perfect way to make low-carb chicken fully breaded and baked that tastes just like our favorite non-keto fried chicken in oil.
Take it from our testers when we tell you, this baked chicken tastes as good (if not better!) than any crispy fried chicken we have made before.
Try this low carb chicken recipe with chicken drumsticks next time you are craving a keto fried chicken recipe.
