If you have problems with your "coating" sticking while frying, coat it all and refrigerate them for 20 minutes or so before frying. It sets the coating, let's the dry parts absorb the wet parts. I make double or triple batches and freeze them after the coating has set.

I am 73 pounds down since January 2019. I was losing interest in my keto recipes and your videos have awakened my keto bug. I have been more excited and exploring more and more keto recipes. Thank you.

I made these tonight.. the pork rind recipe. Dude these were insane. My wife absolutely flipped out. Chicken was tender and the flavor is out of this world. Honestly better than any flour battered tenders I’ve ever had. Kudos!

I’ve found a great trick to breading fried foods is to only use the egg whites, things stick a lot better.

Recently I saw someone mix a cup of sharp cheddar with a 1/3 cup of pork rind panko that they just pulsated in a food processor, and they said that the ratio was perfect on tenders. Someone in their comment section also added that instead of putting the chicken into an egg wash and then coating it with that mix, they subbed it out for an avocado mayo and then packed the mixture onto that, and put it in their air fryer for 395 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 mins. I am very excited to try this very soon!

I mix all my spices and herbs into my egg wash. This helps to keep the herbs and spice from burning in the oil. I do a combination of oils. Usually Lard and bacon grease mixed together.

Rewatching this battle. I wanted to wrap my head around each type of breading. Thank you for your BATTLES. I love each and every one. I love my THermopen. My Grandkids got it for me a few years ago for Christmas.

Thank you for explaining what some of the ingredients do, especially the whey protein.

I just want to note.....I got free Perfect Keto products today because I’m a healthcare worker!🥰. Great company!

Thank you! I've been asking for a chicken nugget battle for a while. Tenders are close enough, lol. Some great tips. I add some nutritional yeast to the parm cheese pork rind breading. It just adds a little something to the flavor.

Yes! I love your videos. You have made it so much easier to not just take a break from keto during quarantine.

I’m sure someone has already commented on this, but love the Flo “Kiss my Grits” art! 👍

The oat fiber is a brilliant suggestion! Thank you both Wes and Misty

Always good to see you Wes. Thank you for reminding people about the correct oils to use and for your comprehensive directions. You provide valuable information and yummy stuff. some slip-shod directions on other channels drive fussy me, crazy. Be well.

I just started my keto 5 weeks ago. Down 10 lbs. you are a ‘hoot’! I love it..you make me chuckle....I learned several good tips today. I love being in my kitchen for 51 yrs now. Thank you for helping us to continue to cook healthy! Just ordered the fiber for frying....

You are absolutely my favorite RU-vidr. Thank you SO much for these videos!!

OMG my heart tingled when you took that first bite. I've obviously got some issues. Definitely going to try both recipes! Thank you!

I loved this video. You always do a great job of explaining every step. I am excited to try these "breadings" for fried fish, fried green tomatoes, bloomin' onions, fried mushrooms, fried pickles and anything else I can get my hands on!

Everytime I watch your channel you always put a smile on my face. Thank you, needed this today.

So many great tips! Thank you!

I've used the pork rind recipe quite a bit. I think adding the oat fiber at the beginning might be a game changer.

I subscribed immediately just from this video! I'm on day 9 of keto and I've been haunted by fried chicken for days!!! Lol This will help me immensely! Thank youuuu!! 😋🥰🇨🇦

Love everything about this ❤️❤️❤️ been waiting for this man and love your channel

Thank you for sharing! Making these tonight!

Yes! You DEFINITELY bring joy to our lives!!!

Since watching this video, I've tried both of these versions to make the chicken fingers. I really liked them both but preferred the pork rind version a lot more since I like "extra crispy". The oat fiber dredge is a great tip too! Thanks for the good eats!

Thanks for this video, Mr Wesely. I have been wanting someone to do a breaded and deep fried deep dive into keto options, and you were just the man for the job. Hope you're well.

Thank you so much for this recipe. This is the one thing I have been missing. Wes, you are sooo awesome!

Oh my golly this is just what I needed. Hmmm maybe part 2 using the air fryer?? 😉😉 Thanks for sharing today. Love and blessings.

Great video! I've tried some of these, not these exact ones. I do a blending of some almond flour and ground pork rinds. I like to add nutritional yeast flakes, which can add an additional flavor and crunch. I have not tried the oat fiber, so I'm excited to try that next!

These look amazing, I have done the pork rind ones but would love to try the protein powder ones. Thanks so much for all your work, you are easily one of my favorite people on youtube!

Keto Rewind sent me over to you for your air fryer chicken recipe, but I regularly watch & like your channel & I just love your channel! Thank you!

Thank you for this! I've been doing the pork rind/Parmesan coating for several years now, and we Love it! I soak the chicken in the egg/cream wash for a few minutes with some hot pepper sauce added--the hot sauce tenderizes the chicken, but doesn't make it spicy. That coating also works very well baked at 410 for about 30 minutes for bone in chicken pieces--comes out super crispy and it's super easy. I like the oat fiber recommendation, too. Love your videos!

We just finished supper, and tried this recipe. HEY HOWDY!!! Winner winner chicken dinner. We used the whey powder recipe...but realized our's was vanilla flavored. Guess what? It didn't matter...no taste other than the tiniest bit of sweetness. This was absolutely delicious, and we used your cookie sheet/rack idea, and it was perfect, no greasiness at all. You (and we) hit a home run and out of the park for this one. A real keeper ... THANK You so much for sharing it. :) Not a scrap of it is left :)

Thank you so much for these recipes! I am sooooo excited to try them tonight! I love pork rinds as a snack and use it as a breading.

You rock!! I really enjoy your videos, and you share so much valuable information in all of them. This one is a must. I have been missing crispy, crunchy, deep fried stuff and now I have my go-to!! I've been Keto for 2 1/2 years, did Atkins about 10 years ago for about a year, but backslid. Thank goodness with Keto becoming so popular there are many more options (sugars, alternative flours, etc.) for people the get the flavors and mouth feel they grew up with. I have now made it my lifestyle. The first time I used this I didn't have chicken, but I had a very large ling cod filet in my freezer that needed to get eaten. I thawed it out, sliced it into fish stick sizes, and began the breading. I used both the whey protein and the crushed pork rinds separately. The whey protein produced a more fish sandwich breading, tender with a little crunch, and the pork rinds gave the perfect fish stick crunchy finish. Even my husband liked them, and he's scared to death of my keto cooking - he's not one for change. Tonight I made steak fingers with this. This time I mixed the whey protein and pork rinds together, half of each. It worked out perfectly! Thank you so much! Hmmm...maybe someday I'll actually make chicken with this.

Marinate the tenders in pickle juice A couple of hours and you have another knock off (Chick-fil-A). Does the whey powder dry on the utensils like cement?

Awesome Wes! I can't wait to try these! You are a meticulous perfectionist! Stay well and thanks for all your creativity .....you should be a star on cooking channel!✌

Wes, I just made these...both coatings. You sir, are amazing!! I had been feeling like keto is so restrictive and craving a lot of non-keto foods. This has made me so happy! I will be making these weekly. With food like this, I don't feel deprived and I can KCKO to my goals. Bless you, sir. I am eternally grateful.

Thank you for the recipes and tips! Making these for me any my family.

The notification "Highfalutin' Low Carb has uploaded a video" means my day has been made. :) Thanks for making my day, Wes!

For air fryer, spray chicken on both sides, then put in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before cooking. Do this for any "breaded" foods in the air fryer. Keeps breading in place.

Gonna have to try this out. Thanks for doing the video!

I was gonna make some tonight! Been searching for recipe! Thanks!

Yum! I'm glad you got the "Kiss My Grits" up finally!!

Omg Wesley where did you get the Kiss my grits picture... I love it

That looks amazing you have bought a lot of good recipes to our attention being on keto

Can't wait to try this!!! Love your videos!!!❤

I always get happy when you post a new video! ❤ I've tried a bunch of breading and this is by far the best one I came up with. For 1 lb of chicken: • egg wash (2 eggs + splash of cream) • 1/2 cup pork rinds • 2 scoops of whey • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast • seasonings of choice Fry in coconut oil (I tried avocado but it smokes for me). Perfect and super crunchy every time! And now I finally know what to do with that big bag of oat fiber I have! 🤣

I’ve been waiting for this for my whole life. Tendies are my weakness.

I made this using Lard. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the recipe xxxx

Awesome Thanks Love your videos helps me find great recipes to continue on my Keto journey

Dude, I absolute adore your face when you bite into that chicken and your enjoyment is making me want to make them myself.

I normally use Isopure with the same amazing results you got. I do bone in, boneless fried chicken and fish. Delicious! 😋 I'm looking forward to giving perfect keto a try. I'm interested in these light and fluffy baked goods. I've always been a home baker but sadly I've lost that passion with keto baked goods. They haven't measured up in the 3+ years I've been doing them. Expensive ingredients with so-so results.

They look so good. Can’t wait to try.

Can't wait to try! Thank You!!

Okay, Wes, you have never steered us wrong, and this recipe is a home run! I tried it last night, and this chicken came the closest to my late mama's southern fried chicken! Mama's chicken was loved by so many people, and this really was the closest! I used the whey protein powder and lard. Delicious!

This inspires me to come up with a coconut shrimp recipe!

Thank you for your hard work! I tried them both and the pork rind was my fave. I had not done them before so thank you for testing for me!

Wonderful!! Can’t wait to try! Thank you!!

I made homemade Keto chicken tenders a week ago and used "heavily seasoned" King Arthur Keto flour. I dredged the tenders in the flour first, then egg, then flour again. I let the flour hydrate before frying and they were great. I deep fried them in lard, come at me bro, they were freakin' delicious. Dipped in Sweet Baby Ray's buffalo sauce then into Marzetti's Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing... 11 out of 10.

I just watched your video and I cant wait to try this!!! I love your videos Wes! You are so knowledgable!!

Thank you once again for taking the time to invite us into your kitchen while you entertain and tempt us with these wonderful recipes. Btw.. I like the little candle looking light behind you. Don't remember seeing that before. (I am always nosy and looking around while you are talking, lol. And does it drive you crazy that there is not enough room to make you knives stand up straight?)

I know when the fist goes to the forehead and the other hand comes up to the camera, it's a recipe I am definitely going to make! I just took chicken breasts out of the freezer, and I can't wait to try these, Wes. Your reactions always make me chuckle. THANK YOU for sharing these wonderful recipes and taking the time to make such well-done videos. As a (now retired) multimedia teacher, I know how much time editing takes. Oh, and the "Kiss My Grits" poster is awesome! Can't wait for the next video! Stay safe and well, my dear. I will comment again once I try these.

Oh. My. Goodness! Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe these. I made the whey protein version but made a couple of small changes: I soaked the chicken in heavily salted water for around three hours before preparing, so I reduced the salt in the breading mix to 1/4 teaspoon and fried them in bacon grease, which I had an abundance of. Even my husband, who doesn’t eat keto loved them.

Hi Wes tried this recipe tonight. Just used the pork panko option . Delicious 🤤. Thank you for all your battle videos they have helped me narrow down recipes worth trying especially at the end when you taste test and you have that look, I already know you liked it.

Have just discovered you and subscribed immediately...thanks so much for sharing your brilliance!!! The chicken tenders look divine!!

yay! I'm so glad that the oat fiber worked for you too! Those look so good. I want to dip some in some chipotle ranch! Love your face!

I literally made some last night lol, half of the tenders were almond flour and the other half was Coconut flour!!!

You said that 'you hope the videos bring joy' they certainly do buddy. Much love from the UK! Your videos are super informative but it's your personality that makes it what it is. Also: I always find pork rinds go a little hard when frying, i just throw them in the oven. Can't wait to try the whey recipe.

My wife wants to lose weight and I'm doing it with her for support. I'm looking for new health recipes and I came across this!!!!!!! Definitely gonna have to make this happen. Thank you for everything you do and supporting the keto family.

Wesley, O Wesley ... Could you, pleeeeease, do a keto beef stroganoff battle? *Thank you.*

Slightly wrong on the oat fiber... I've gone through 5 lbs in a year! I do experimenting and I always sub part of the coconut or almond flour with oat fiber cuz it works so well! 🙂

Made this dish and they turned out great. Thanks for your great videos. Your Pigs in Blanket were AWESOME!!!

Thank you for some info I didn't know like the rack thing, that chicken looks delish😋

I might try the whey protein powder coating to fry some pickles. I really miss those!

Immediately liked👍🙂

Look how GOLDEN BROWN they fried! I would never have thought to use oat fiber as an "egg" adherent!! Thank you for the tip!!!

Thank you for this recipe with me being a southern girl this made me so happy! I saw this on Keto Rewind!

Thank you for the suggestion of netrition.com, I'm like a kid in a candy store with all these options!

Welp, gotta order oat fiber now!

Would these options work for steak fingers too? Love your channel, you make me smile everytime I watch them 😊

Hi Wes! Thanks so much for your videos!! I used both types of breading and made fried oysters. They were both awesome!! I’ll use this all the time. Can’t wait to try it on chicken. Thanks again!!!

It took us lots of trial and error but we came up with a great spicy keto chicken strip recipe using pork rinds that we shared the video and recipe on our site. We love watching your cooking battles.

Don't forget to hit "All" on notifications and not Personalized. Personalized lets RU-vid pick and choose what to show you.

Awesome thanks for this recipe. Can’t wait to try it

Love this. I mix protein and pork rinds for the breading, with grated cheese and parmigiano. Sometime drip bit of egg into Brading to make lumps before breading for extra crispy. Also consdider milk with lemon juice to make a buttermilk to pre marinade thr chicken . Great videos

Finally get my CHICKEN TENDIES!!!!

WAIT!!!!!! What?!!!!!! "Low Carb | High Snark" LOL You just get me....

Oh Wesley, I get so excited when you post a new video!!!!! I have fell off the wagon, big time, during COVID 19. I'm southern and love all southern foods, so my boss and I went on a biscuit rant. Lord we ate biscuits for lunch every day for a month. But this video has encouraged me to get back on my low carb and lose the weight!! Thank you so much!!

I tried the protein powder coating, absolutely delicious. It's a keeper. Thanks, Wes.

Has anyone tried ground lupin? I just found some at my last Costco haul and I want to try it as a fried chicken coating.

You know it's really good when your teeth are moving faster than your lips are.😁 Glad to know there are others who every now and again bite the lip while chewing.

Excited. Thx for the link. I just ordered the oat fiber!

Love watching your battle videos. Keep them coming. It helps me to figure which recipe to make. I have tried many recipes and its hard to find something you like. I'm like how did that get in a cookbook. Tks again

My son is complaining that you didn’t send him any. He wants his piece.

In my family, I am a pork rind connoisseur, LOL!!! I love, love, love pork rinds and I am so darn picky about them.

These look amazing!! I cannot wait to try these. Already have oat fiber for my low carb bread recipe. Thanks for being you! I enjoy your videos so much!

I made the pork rind recipe with the oat flour and just some garlic powder mixed into the pork rind/parmesan mixture, and it is fantastic! I shallow fried some chicken tenders and pickle chips and it worked excellently for both. The pickle chips were a little salty though and I didn't even add any extra salt. So your advice to be mindful of the salt is spot on. Thank you so much for this.
