Keto Dinner | Keto Buffalo Chicken

Keto Buffalo Chicken proves that eating a gluten-free and low carb diet doesn’t have to mean sacrifice! Juicy chicken is fried crispy and tossed with a classic sauce you love. I like to make this in the air fryer – it saves money on oil and reduces the greasiness. Feel free to fry them if you like. Either way, you are going to love this irresistible recipe that has just 2 net carbs per serving!

The issue with fried chicken on a low carb keto diet is that the breading typically contains flour, and may also have cornstarch. Frying in a high heat safe oil is perfectly fine of keto. To make fried chicken that is keto friendly, I have substituted almond flour and Parmesan cheese for the flour.

I’m super excited to share todays recipe with you guys. If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen me make this for dinner a few weeks ago. That was actually the first time I made it and it was such a success! We are huge zucchini boat fans and I had planned to bake them like normal, but I decided to try them in the air fryer and the result was delicious! The zucchini gets tender and slightly crisp and then the cheese on top gets bubbly and slightly browned, it is just perfect! And bonus points that it can be done without turning on the oven and heating the kitchen in this sweltering heat.

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 1/4 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.
