Atkins Diet: Low Carb Fried Chicken (IF)

In this cooking video, I detail how to make one of my staples of the diet -- low carb fried chicken. You don't have to give up the joy of fried chicken, and contrary to low fat diets, you can eat the skin too! I have fried chicken at least once a week almost. Chicken has a great amount of protein as well as delicious fat in the skin. I display 2 of the 3 methods that are among the acceptable coatings for chicken or chicken-fried foods (like Country Fried Steaks):

* Parmesan Cheese - Induction friendly
* Carbquik breading -- I typically buy mine from Netrition (http://bit.ly/9WmKCl )
* Crushed Pork Rinds. ** not shown Just run the pork rinds through a food processor to crush the rinds into smaller pieces. You would be surprised by how tasty this is, and how little pork rinds flavor there is remaining. I had intended to show this method as well, but Wal-mart wasn't selling them anymore.

Here is the recipe for the breading:
* 1 cup of Carbquik flour
* 2 TBS Paprika
* 1 TBS Black Pepper
* Dashes of Cayenne Pepper, Chili Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Poultry Seasoning

Thanks for watching my videos and subscribing for those that have. You guys are the best to keep me motivated.

(IF = Induction Friendly)

@bowulf This was a great recipe as usual. I was wondering, have you ever tried making fried chicken with coconut flour or coconut flakes - both of which are low carb friendly? If you haven't, could you do a video on it to see how it would turn out?

[bowulf]

@alphacause Sorry, I haven't played with coconut flour in that fashion yet, but one of the videos my daughter was going to make was coconut covered shrimp. I would be worried though since chicken takes a lot longer to cook the coconut might burn.

totally amazing! i love these videos, the ingredients are easily found in even my local supermarkets and you show us exactly how to make the dishes. it's inspiring and very very helpful to this newby to the atkins lifestyle. thank you so much for sharing with us!

[bowulf]

@TheSandyk11 That's my major goal with my recipes to make low carb eating as easy and as low a barrier for people to start as possible. There should be little excuse for people to fall into a rut or only eat deli meat / cheese everyday. Thanks for watching!

@yahosna40x Apparently all that research doesn't in fact give you any insight into what the diet actually is. This isn't a high protein diet. Plus keep the attitude yourself, it doesn't do wonders for getting your point across. If you want to be an adult, act like one.

It lookd burnt wtf

[anamneses28]

Wow! I'm amazed at how great the parm fried chicken looks. It looks like regular fried chicken - better than the carbquik chicken in fact. I have both so I'll give both a try. Thanks!

Thank you Bowulf! Induction-friendly (parmesan) fried chicken is frying now!

@ksb100pr I let people respond, but expect a response if you do decide to post. I'll also point out the idiocy of add simple starches and flour back into one's diet if one is attempting to control one's blood glucose level. Trying to cover 1 large breasts with 5g of white flour, which is ~2 tsp, would be near impossible. I'll also point out misstatements in nutrition info to ensure others don't make the same mistake.

Or am I not allowed to disagree with critics.

[bowulf]

@ksb100pr You must have some unique all purpose flour as I have checked Bob's Red Mill and my own Great Value All Purpose Flour, and the GV Flour is 23g per 1/4 cup and Bob's Red Mill is 22g per 1/4 cup with negligible fiber. Why your flour is half the carbs of all other flours on the market and the USDA reported numbers I don't know. I am still guessing you aren't read your label correctly.

I'll repeat myself one more time for you that you might understand - "do what suits you best."

"Cheap stuff or ingredients" = "Cheap taste", If it's worth cooking, it's worth cooking with quality ingredient

[bowulf]

@ksb100pr Heck if I want to make high carb chicken and have unlimited carbs, I'd use corn starch. Either way for someone who only eats 20-40g net carbs per day, eating all of them as refined carbs as breading on my chicken is idiotic.
