Notes
Tips & Tricks
- If you don’t want to Air Fry or Fry them, you can bake them in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
- Make sure that you only flip them once! Flipping more often causes the breading to fall off.
- If you would like to thicken the left over sauce for dipping, stir in ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum.
Variations for this Recipe:
- For a breaded low carb BBQ chicken, substitute Keto BBQ sauce for the Franks Hot Sauce.
- If pork rinds are your thing, you may use ground up pork rinds in place of the almond flour.
