Keto Fried Chicken
Use buttermilkButtermilk changes the way the fatty skin responds to hot oil, making it really crispy. Regular milk, just eggs, or water won’t give you the same level of crispiness. Buttermilk is often used to brine the chicken in order to make it tender and juicy.Egg whites instead of whole eggsThe fat in the yolk of a whole egg can add moisture to the wash, making the coating not as crispy. Skip the yolks and just use the whites.Don’t skip the vodkaWhile vodka is technically optional, it helps coat the crust and form flakey layers in the coating. Don’t worry about it making you drunk, the alcohol will evaporate off from the high temperature. If you don’t have vodka, any neutral spirit will work.Baking powder or baking sodaFor this recipe, either will work since the buttermilk acts as an acid, which would help activate baking soda. I like using baking powder as it adds a bit more puffiness to the coating and increases the browning/crispiness effect.

Blackened Chicken
Blackened seasoning is also referred to as Cajun spice since these spices and similar method of blackening quick cooking proteins are used often in Cajun cooking.Typically blackened seasoning contains a mixture of paprika, cumin, thyme, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Other seasonings like crushed red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper can be added for heat. Other herbs can be used in addition or interchangeable like dried parsley, cilantro and basil. Smoked paprika can be used instead of regular paprika for an intense smoky flavor.To get the seasoning to stick to the chicken, cooking oil is lightly coated on the chicken. Some recipes will create a paste by adding avocado oil or canola oil to the seasoning mix then brushing this all over the chicken. Oils with a high smoke point should be used to keep the oil from oxidizing. Olive oil doesn’t have a high smoke point, so I don’t recommend it if blackening proteins like chicken, fish or pork.Is blackened chicken spicy?In this blackened seasoning recipe, cayenne pepper adds heat and can make this chicken spicy. To tame down the heat, omit the cayenne pepper or just add a pinch.

Keto Chicken Alfredo
There really isn’t a wrong way to make your chicken to put on top of pasta. As long as you’re not adding breading, flour, or any sweeteners, any chicken will work for this keto dish. My favorite is making grilled chicken thighs or using larger boneless skinless breasts and slicing or dicing them to toss with sauce and noodles. Chicken thighs cook quickly and have a lot of flavor from the fat and don’t tend to dry out as quickly as breast meat does.To make pasta night even quicker, cook your chicken ahead of time. When ready to use, remove from the refrigerator, let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then toss with the hot sauce and noodles.
