I was a strict vegetarian for a few years, and last year I developed anorexia. I’ve experienced muscle wasting, extremely dry skin , bone loss, depression, and lethargy. After doing a lot of research, I decided Keto looked like the way to go. So far so good. I’m feeling great and have my energy back. Thanks so much for posting this video. I believe Keto has literally saved my life.
Wow thx for the info! I’ve always thought humans need meat proteins in our life but always in balance of course
Umm, something tells me your muscle wasting was from anorexia, not vegetarianism.
Faethe yes, I always disagreed with the doctor. I didn’t eat any protein at all.
@@CGM52 Why did you avoid protein? That makes no sense.
Given you finally realise that being on stupid restrictive diets caused you a lot of health problems, why you going on another restrictive diet,? Try just being a normal person?
Paper towels used for draining make the chicken soggy. Place the chicken on a rack after frying; that will preserve the crispness.
That's good to know. Thanks for the tip. ☺️😊
Actually I really prefer putting deep fried batter stuff on paper towels because it will absorb excess oil/moisture and deliver an even crispier result...
Just put paper towel under the drying rack
My mother used to drain her chick on a paper shopping bag (a clean one) and that worked well
@@cclhenergy4855 Yup, the brown paper bag. And, that was long before the recycling craziness. That was when everything was reused & next to nothing went in the trash. Popsicle sticks were washed, maybe even soaked in a weak bleach or lemon solution to remove the stain. Toilet tissue inner tubes became crafts. Plastic bread bags were braided into rugs. Cloth diapers double dutied as burping pads & after successful potty training retired the intended use, they remained in daily use as cleaning rags. Plastic mesh potato & onion bags/sacks were rolled to serve as kitchen scrub pads. Cloth flours sacks were turned into kitchen towels. Onion peels were saved for dying yarn & cloth, hence the titles (red & yellow onions when they to the shopper, they appear purple & tan.) White onion peels were used in making homemade writing paper that faintly smelled of onion. A cake was only declared done & removed from the oven after you had plucked a twig out of the nearby kitchen broom, stuck the straw it into the cake, & it had come out clean.
And of course, Mom would suddenly lick her thumb or finger, & you'd run like hell. Why? Because she was going to use her spit to 'clean' some dirt, grime, or smudge off of your face. Ewww! The memory can still send a shiver up my spine. Yuck!
And, yes, even coffee grounds were saved to be added to gardens, stain blemishes in wood, or on an emergency to shine up muddy boots or shoes.
Brown paper bags were no cost construction paper, used in the fireplace, & commonly used as heavy duty reusable patterns in sewing projects. The bags, which were much thicker & more durable back then, were stapled to the underside of kitchen chairs, folded & then wedged under one foot of the kitchen table so the it didn't wobble, used to cover outgoing parcels, etc etc as well as obligatory draining of fried chicken, fries, & the like. My mom would have four curved pieces around the edge of a cake while she was frosting it, then carefully remove them so the cake plate was perfectly neat & tidy for display.
recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes YOU JUST MADE MY WEEK!!
🙏
Just did some boneless chicken thighs and I nearly fell out of my chair this method saved me because I was sick of using almond and coconut flour. Thank you soooo much 🤤🤤🙏🏾
Trying this tonight. So excited to see how the protein powder works!!
Does it taste better with coconut flour or protein powder?
@@nizal9388 I prefer protein powder
may i ask what brand of protein powder you use?
@@AngelxTenshin isoplus flavorless zero carb protein powder
Whaaat, you’re doing keto now too? I’ve been watching you for years and years. You are a master chef, your recipes are always on point. So now you’re videos are even more convenient for me. Keep these keto recipes coming!
Grand Mother thank you so much ☺️
No Gordon Ramsay
same for me!!!, I remember watching videos of this channel in 2012! been doing keto for 2 years on and off
@@Breadhead21 That's right! Say no to Gordon Ramsay, yes to this.
You know there is nothing diet when you fry chicken in oil.
Wow, that bowl was so clean, I though you were pouring everything on the cutting board XD
Edit: some people can be so quick to criticize. Yes, I know how to wash my own dishes, and yes, I see 20/20. The camera angle and the low quality video I was streaming made it difficult to see the bowl immediately. Based on the number of likes this post has, it seems like I’m not the only one who did a double take
Thank you for this comment!! I thought I was crazy but NOW I realize there's a bowl, haha!
Yall are blind asf
I agree!!
True ! that was trippy !
You all must have some filthy kitchen equipment and faulty dishwashers, compounded by very poor vision.
I didn't believe it was possible, but this turned out absolutely amazing! Swapping flour with protein powder is genius!
I don't fry often, but I really wanted to exclude flour from my diet whenever I do fry and now I have an alternative, thanks to you. Thanks for sharing!
Omg I tried this fried this was so great to be able to eat fried chicken again has renewed my faith in keto thank you so much it's so yummy and juicy
thank you for making this 5 minutes and sparing us your life story. Subscribed
I made this today. It was utterly amazing and worked perfectly. Absolute genius!
HOw did you fry it?
lier
You literally just became my favorite Keto youtuber! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for makin' this video, I needed a good fried chicken recipe. Day 21 keto, battled the flu and now I'm on the other side, trying to make dinners for my family in this way. This will help us a LOT! Big love from Texas!
This is simply the best fried chicken I've ever had. I would not have known it wasn't KFC. Thank you SO much for sharing.
This is really enlightening. I didn't know using protein powder was possible instead of flour. My only suggestion is to rest the cooked chicken on a metal grate because paper towels tend to make the chicken soggy.
I use Groud up pork rinds and use them as panko. Its amazing fried coating. like it even if I am not doing keto
doesn't it burn?
@@chickenballs-balls It takes longer to burn than regular panko in my experience. I've never had an issue
Me too! Crunchiness is even better than any flower based coating, as far as I'm concerned.
VenomTheCat But Mohammed said Pork is bad for you.
@@pastoryoda2789 haa
Just made this. It was a huge hit. We haven’t had any fried chicken in so long I can’t remember the last time we had it. My wife came home to crispy fried chicken..... she was so happy! Actually, I had to show her the protein powder because she said it tasted like regular breading. Many thanks for a wonderful recipe!!!!!!!
Man, I made this tonight, and what a fantastic find it was! I ended up using skinless thigh fillets sliced in half, great job, and great idea on the protein powder (Which I was skeptical about but it really worked)
What kind of protein powder did you use?
@@jesussaves222 A whey protein Isolate from Bulk Nutrients in Melbourne
@@russellpurdie2064 - okay.
I suffer from hormonal acne so I've been avoiding refined flour, but I'd been craving fried chicken... TY so much for this
Watching your RUclips video recipes for Keto and I’m a beginner so you have finally given me hope in eating Keto long term
Made this in my breville oven air with a little ghee drizzled on top of the chicken pieces and man-oh-man it was delish!
Keel Dat....you just gave me an idea. I was going to use avocado oil....thx!
Did it taste like KFC
@@sami.1983 Hi Sam...unfortunately my air cooker recommended temp was too high and it was too charred to eat. I will let you know when I try it again.
Salima Carter did you try again?
I took the leftover mixes & breaded sliced mushrooms. Totally worked! Hello Morels in the Spring!
Watched you since I was 13 now I’m 23 and still watching you man keep up the good work and please make a keto diet menu
Brine the chicken in salt water first 1/2 hr unbelievable so moist
I'm so glad you're doing this now, I started keto like half a year ago. Love the videos!
You should try to do deep fry ( lower temp to cook the chicken) then air fry ( similar to double frying but this gets it crispier and it also gets rid of the oil to make it taste less oily). it will taste less oily
Benjamin New I’ll be doing this! Thanks!
This gives me a great idea! I’m going to a brunch get together in about five weeks and I may try making some keto chicken and chaffles. I need to experiment with different recipes.
Soak in buttermilk overnight but heavy cream for the batter coating.
Milk and other dairy are high in lactose, which is forbidden on keto as it's not only a sugar, but has two molecules of glucose. Butter and cheese are fine for keto. Source: USDA nutritional database.
@@thokling361 i have and will never trust what the usda says about any damn thing.
@@str8cold97 Not as your sole source. It's good to review the journals and studies as well. Always use multiple sources.
@@thokling361 is heavy cream ok?
@@MsBiz888 yes
OMG!!! Absolutely Delicious!!! What's even MORE AMAZING is that you have found the BEST chicken coating for keto followers. Just like you, I have tried coconut flour, almond flour, or a blend of the two to use as a flour to coat my chicken which never really came out very well (just "do-able"), and still did have some carbs in it, "BUT HOW INGENIOUS OF YOU" to get the idea to use 100% whey protein powder to coat the chicken which is "0%" carbs and has the same flour texture and end result like those high carb flours!!! Wow, I'm "SO IMPRESSED" that you would come up with this idea and it works SO WELL and is SO DELICIOUS!!! A thumbs up for you 👍!!! Phew!😅 Thank you for helping us!!!
Which protein powder did you use ? And you seems to try a lot of coating, have you try pork rinds ? Thanks
Nicko doing Keto stuff?! yay!
Tomnickles yep and loving it!
Well good on you. I have been doing it since July now and I love it. I am glad I have a channel like yours to look at and get ideas for recipes. Keep up the good work!
Earned a new sub with this one. Been keto 3 years. Never going back.
I've worked at KFC when I was younger, when they cooked it on an open fryer for 8 minutes and after that in the pressurized fryer for another 8 minutes
Omgosh just made this, perfect!!! The taste is the best ever!!! Thank you
Is it crispy like KFC? On cheat days I order the EXTRA crispy.
I have to say, that I have used a lot of different coatings for chicken, and never once thought about using protein powder, and I have to agree with you, that this recipe is awesome! ❤️ The chicken was tender, the coating stayed on, and it wasn’t dried out, it was simply DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing your fabulous keto recipe!
AWESOME! So happy you liked it
Ive been doinh keto since May and Its so awesome to see you do keto recipes. I think id probably use heavy creme instead of almond milk.
You could but it's only the coating and very little will stick to the chicken anyway. Coconut milk would work as well.
I like this idea, cream is thicker and might help give a thicker coating. I love the crunchies on the outside.
I'm trying to move from a general low-carb, no-sugar diet to keto and I'm hating how much stuff uses nuts, almond milk, coconut products, etc... things i'm allergic to or just hate the taste of (coconut). The heavy cream idea is great though, I wonder how many other recipes I've overlooked because of nut/coconut products i could just use cream in...
@@squall6789 try MCT oil. It's basically coconut oil without the taste and smell. If you're allergic to coconut then it's moot.
Heavy whipping cream is always on the top of the shopping list for any serious keto dieter!!! Who knew it has less carbs than even 2% milk? It’s why keto dieters use it AND it has good fats! Yep! No need for any of the designer but milks !
THANK YOU! I have MS. My Avonex shot makes me so sick. Years ago, I noticed eating baked chicken reduces the Avonex "flu," but fried chicken eliminates all side effects. I've been Miserable the next day since I like Quito because I couldn't do the fried chicken. I am so trying this recipe next Saturday when I take my shot. You may have just saved me from blind my keto diet.
I like my Air Fryer. Exclusively use it in every frying recipe since I got it. Actually, the last time I bought a bottle of oil was before I got the Air Fryer.
I just wanted to say thank you for figuring this one out. I can’t have normal protein powder so I used the egg powder with the 11 herbs and spices. It came out awesome! thank you for so much for sharing. Now I can have my KFC as keto🥰🥰🥰
Youre an inventor, keep inventing, do it right👍🏽
Dude, thanks for showing both the deep fryer and air fryer versions! I have both but I love seeing you can use both options.
That’s brilliant using protein powder as a coating.
Do you know what protein powder works. I looked and they seem to all have flavor to them except the whey protein powder by Red Mill. Would that work?
@@DonandBirdieHarms Yes that would work. I pretty much use Red Mill as my go to for things like this. However, if you really like protein powder and would use the huge container I hear Isopure is about as flavorless as they come.
Excellent idea with the protein powder...used 12 bone in& skin on thighs. Made 1.5 times protein powder & doubled herb mixture w 1/2 regular paprika & 1/2 smoked paprika w extra garlic powder & salt due to having only celery seed, not celery salt. Like others said, it takes 15 to 20 min. total depending on thicknesss & flipping half way. Fried in organic refined coconut oil, so no coconut flavor. My husband & son loved it and they don't like many keto modifications. It was so crispy, moist, & tasted great! A little messy and worst than flour when getting on your fingers though. Hint...only use a small portion of powder mix in a plate, so it all doesn't get gooey at one time. In the end, so crispy!
Nicko, you can try psyllium husk too as coating. Try it and let me know how did it turn out. This way bowel movement will also be okay as keto means lots of protein which tends to cause constipation
*I can't wait to try making this mouthwatering fried chicken at home and enjoy the flavors without the guilt. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!*
This is a breakthrough, healthy fast food! Why choose a diet over fast food when you can have both. A diet to actually enjoy. :) Keep going with these recipies.
The flash boiling water inside the wet batter should equalize the pressure of the oil soaking in. Doesn't work if the oil is cold of if its fried too long and all the water evaporates, you just get oil soaked batter and oily chicken. Test for hot oil with a wood chopstick or spoon.
Whenever I air fry I like to spray on the oil… then it's very light and not clumpy or soupy
Just made this....I was skeptical that is protein powder would be a substitute for flour but it came out perfect. Flavorful and crispy. Delicious.... Thank you for the recipe.
Wow, looks great! What protein powder do You rekommend?
this was great! I will never waste my time on pork rind panko that falls off, or almond or coconut flour breading that feels like sand in your mouth. I can't believe I never thought to use protein powder. Genius. I marinated my chicken in egg bath overnight with garlic and hot sauce. I don't think it tastes like KFC, but I was trying to recreate boneless wings from my favorite wing place. This did the trick, and it held the wing sauce perfectly, AND stuck to the chicken. that's all I can really ask for. Thanks!
Nice video. I recommend peanut oil. That's what chic fil a uses and it's a high smokepoint oil.
I'm following you from frankfurt Germany since 2009 I'm glad your doing keto recepie since im on keto
Nicko, Nicko.....Nicko,......throw a handfull of chicken skin in there bro.>!!!! Dawg.....we need a whole lotta chicken skin..
so true.
Why ?
I oven fry bone in ckn thighs with skin in few tbsp of grass fed butter. 425° 20 mins, turn and bake 25 more mins. Amazing!!!! Yum!
Great! Can't wait to see what more recipes you come up with. Welcome to the Keto world.
I‘m so excited that you‘re not giving up and try different recipes to please the audience. This video is amazing, love the creative keto friendly recipe!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I have been searching/experimenting for a couple years to find a proper keto fried chicken. I've had breading that falls off, is doughy or powdery, not crispy, or tastes terrible. This seems like the perfect solution!
Have you try them ?
Havent eaten chicken for very long time but... this is a good video from you nicko. Keep it up
Don’t play with me... KETO FRIED CHICKEN?! What are you? Some sort of mad genius? Thank you for this oh-so-valuable content! Keep it up! 😍🔥👌🏻
Wow Nicko! Great Idea with the Protein powder! Just watched the Garlic Bread Keto video Keep up the Keto recipes ... I have a question, Could I substitute Protein Powder for Bread flower ? Have you experimented with this Idea yet ? Bread is my down fall on any Diet !!!!
i'm on a strict healthy meal plan and i've been craaaaaaving for fried chicken so bad. this recipe saves my life. im gonna make this tomorrow! thank you!
Yes yes yes! Thank you thank you thank you! I haven't had fried chicken in one and a half years! Thanks to you I am making this for dinner! 🙌 👊 💪
Tina R yes! Let me know what you think
How was it Tina? Thinking this is going to be dinner this week.
@@robjnixon could you please tell me which protein powder you used please?
@@leabingleyphotograph Have you try them ? Which protein powder ? :)
I just made this (my only change was much less almond milk only about 3/4 cup and I added onion powder). Deliciousssss!!!! So glad i ran into this recipe
Looking great ! Going out to get an air fryer. Thank you so much.
I cannot wait to try this! I’m brand new to your channel, but knew I had to subscribe, right away. Now I must go get some protein powder. Thank you for what you do. And video is perfect length and detail. 💖
You just sold me on an air fryer my friend! :O I'd been putting it off bc I wasn't sure if I wanted one of those Insta-pot or air fryer machines....now I want air fried chicken!
Get a Ninja Foodi. It air fries and doubles as a pressure cooker. I got one for xmas and LOVE it.
Quite possibly the best Keto meal I've ever eaten. Thanks Nick!
FANTASTIC VIDEO - Very well done. I am eager to make it
I never use the mesh basket for the airfryer for anything other than potato dishes. Meat sticks terribly and take a lot of effort to clean. If you are going to airfry meat, use the nonstick grill (yes, bought separately but well worth it). Also, consider spraying the breaded chicken with oil before cooking it in the airfryer (both sides) which will help prevent the flour from blasting off the chicken.
"This is actually good for you."

Keto 3 1/2 years and I never tried this. Looks AHHHHHHMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤤
I have used pork rinds/crackling as flour. ✌🐧
penguin chick must be delicious
Glad to see you back
If you're doing keto, why not use heavy whipping cream instead of almond milk?
To keep the calories down. Fried chicken is already pretty high.
You don't need to count calories while doing low carb that's the point of low carb
@@StellarMoo97 ummmm yea you do. you still have to be in a caloric deficit
My experience doing keto for more than one year is that very definitely low calories are required! Low carb and low calorie!
@@garybertrand9846 I've lost >50lbs in the last 8 months with lo-carb and IF, and I sure as hell haven't counted any calories!
the point of adding milk is that the lactic acid breaks down the protein making it tender.
the almond milk here doesn't have the same effect.
You about genius! Can't wait to try this!
Love that you are doing Keto recipes and this one's a ripper! Definitely trying this. Thanks 😋
You are so welcome!
oh man im going to try this when making mozzarella sticks. i tried it with almond flower but kinda failed.
Looking forward to trying this! Thank you! Sharing the heck out of this! 😊😊
Oh I’ve been waiting for this since you posted that picture in your feed!!!! I am also glad you didn’t use pork rinds it seems everyone uses pork rinds.
this looks so amazing only 2 things id disagree with...1. putting the chicken in the grease before its all the way I hot..I noticed when you first put it in there was no sizzling and grease was still warming up, when I do that my chicken doesn't come out crunchy the way I like it and the crisp fall off...2. putting protein inside of protein powder on keto is a little iffy to me I think I'm going to use almond flour and pork rinds because having too much protein on keto can kick you right out of ketosis but I really do love how the chicken came out especially in the air fryer I'm so scared to fry my chicken in the air fryer lol
Pork rings are amazing for breading too! Zero carbs too!
yes!!
Pork rinds are amazing, but once the chicken gets breaded don't actually fry it but put it into the owen instead. Tastes like traditional fried chicken and has better consistency than if you deep fried it 😉
@@qwertyCandy Yeah, I just put mine in the air fryer. Tastes perfect.
Andrew Williams I really need to get myself an air fryer :)
@@qwertyCandy yeah you do because they are even great to cook bacon in and wings too
It looks amazing! Thank you! I just bought coconut flour thinking about frying it that way, this way seems better. Happy keto!
Nicko! you forgot the onion powder in ur "Full Recipe"! :)
Yes, how much onion powder?
Looks like atleast 1 TSP.
hey nico.
pretty please with sugar on top..
please make this rendition of kfc...
KFC Recipe Chicken.
White Pepper - Serawack - Malaysian - 1 tsp
Telicherry pepper - indian - 3/4ths tsp
Sage - dalmation indian - 1 tsp
Coriander - indian - 3/8ths tsp
Ginger - jamacian - 5/16ths tsp
Chilli - mexican ancho chilli - 1/4th tsp.
Vanilla beans - Tahitian 3/15ths tsp
Bay leaves - Turkish - 3/15ths tsp
Savoury - canadian - 3/15ths tsp
Cloves - east indies - 1/8th tsp
Cardomom - Guatamalan 1/8th tsp .
1/4 tsp msg if necessary
To 1 cup of cake flour which is basically 2 tablespoons of rice flour to a cup of plain flour minus two tablespoons.
The website with full recipe doesn't have onion powder listed
Top of the class! How much? 1 or 2 tsps?
these can also be done in a pressure cooker..
use only a cup and a half of oil and only keep pressure cooker on until pressure is built.
then remove from heat and let it cook.
the trick is to simply get oil to 375c then fry chicken for 3 minutes or until golden... then when temp has dropped to 220c put on lid and then build pressure.. when pressure valve has activated, take of heat and let it cook either on low heat or off heat for the remaining 7-9 minutes.
then when done, release pressure and only open lid when all pressure is released.. chicken will still be cooking.. so drain chicken and put into low temp oven of around 120/140c and let rest in oven for 20 mins on a rack to remove any excess oil..
then you're done.
OMG! I'm a vegan & I'm going to use this (altered of course).
Awesome! What are you going to sub the chicken for?
@@robjnixon well, cauliflower has been used to do buffalo wings. Or I may be able to make nuggets or a "popcorn chicken" using the vegan meat substitute by Quorn.
VEGAN OVER HERE LADS JUST INCASE YOU DIDNT KNOW
Hey Nicko! Thanks for the awesome keto recipes! Is there any way you could post the macros for your recipes as well?
Real Horrorshow If the macros are not listed, it is inconvenient; however, you can build a recipe with the ingredients on an app designed to give that info. I use Lifesum, and be it works great.
I would have thought that leaving the skin on and using this mix would be ideal for Keto, as fats are a major part of the Keto diet
Definitely skin on
100% skin on!
Absolutely. This is the drive by keto version. The real version would be skin on all the pieces for sure.
Good fats are the key to keto and health, coconut oil, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, not copious amounts of animal fats
@@imcurious1009 There's zero evidence to show that animal fats have any adverse effect on health and plenty of evidence that shows the opposite.
Cannot wait to try! Thank you!
Is it crispy like KFC? Because I usually love the extra crispy when I order during my cheat lol.
It would be less crispy because there is no skin.
Yesss Niko !!!!!!!! Welcome to the Keto family bro you rock !!!!
Aww common man can you give us the brand of protein powder you used.
I said the same thing!
Try Isopure O carb, flavorless, 100% Whey on Amazon!
I bet it's not 'grass-fed' whey. "Big difference". "Cafe-Free-organic" chicken? And, it's 'fried'. That's not keto. Think about it.
@@kikataye6293 Thank you Erika Stalling :)
I used the Isopure unflavored whey protein isolate as the flour substitute to bread my fried chicken. Cooked in air frier drizzled with avocado oil. it was excellent 👌🏽
This was great. I used Pork Rinds instead of the Protein powder.
Good thinking
0:48 “One night, early in the morning”
It is now 2:00 AM. It's both nighttime and early in the morning. Duh.
OMG! It was delicious. This is now my new fried chicken recipe from now on. I haven't made fried chicken in years.
The spices you mentioned in the video are different from the spices you list for this recipe on your site. You have oregano listed in the written recipe but did't include it in the video. Also,you stated adding onion powder and yet it's omitted from the written recipe. For accuracy sake, which do I follow for the closest resemblance to KFC?
He does say oregano in the video
@@delygirl1961 I never see ANY green herbs on my KFC. I think they may grind all the herbs into a powder.
Its Nicko's kitchen where satisfying meal's are prepared!!!!! Ate this when I was baked. so good dude.
