>>22011520 I got some hot chicharrons from the dollar store, will give it a try with some chicken breast I got cut into strips marinating in some hot sauce.
That's not breading. That's porking. Breading is supposed to provide a carb counterbalance to the protein that is already there, and doesn't require any more protein.
>>22012541 my friend dragged me out to get shit faced so I didn't get to try it, now my fridge has chicken that has been brining in salt water for 12+ hours. mmmm salt chicken. I'll have to try it tonight with new chicken
>>22011520 I have done this a bunch of times. send the rinds through a blender if you have one because it difficult to get them a consistent size by hand crushing them. Or buy pork rind crumbs. >>22011554 It doesn't burn, even in a deep fryer. I thought it would to but it just gets hot.
To me it honestly tastes lighter than using bread crumbs. It tends to be a bit crispier too.
(These new captchas feel like a fucking mensa test)
I just tried boiling first, then breading the other day and it actually seems very good. I saw it on a "perfect wings" YT video : They boiled the entire bag of frozen wings, then tossed in seasoning and it's actually a great method that gets perfect coverage.
Then you finish them by frying in oil to get a nice crisp outer layer.
>>22015244 Yee, thats a good method. That's how they make the ribs at PF Changs. Water, soy, star anise, ginger, garlic, etc to boil and then lay on a rack in fridge. Pull out to fry whenevr
>>22011520 Yes, I've also used crushed up potato chips and matzah meal and panko and a bunch of other shit While crushed up rinds/chips are great if you're baking, there's simply no beating a flour dredge and batter when frying. Maybe with some corn or potato starch for a crispier end product.
>>22011520 I do the keto diet stuff to control my diabetes.
I've heard about the pork-rinds thing before, but having tasted them, they're fucking awful. I just "bread" things with egg and almond flour when I want to do that.
Costco has an ok chicken strips thing from a brand called "RealGood"; they use chickpea flour to keep the carb count low. I've quit going to Chick-Fil-A thanks to these; they're maybe a third the price. Only downside is the lack of sauce choices.
