Fried Chicken - 1 net carb per serving!

Tonight's dinner was fried chicken with sides of cheesy cauliflower and sliced home-grown tomatoes. The total carbs was about 10 grams. Believe it or not, my fried chicken has less than 1 carb per serving! The other 9 carbs came from the side items. And, it tastes so great that non-dieters will beg you for the recipe. The secret is using crushed pork rinds as the breading. If you want to turn the heat up a notch, try using hot and spicy pork rinds instead. I know what you are thinking, "pork rinds, cream, deep fried; this is a heart attack waiting to happen." Well, all of the nutrition rules that we grew up with are being turned upside down. This diet is said by many experts to actually lower cholesterol. So, relax and enjoy!

Fried Chicken to Die For
Makes 4-8 servings.

Ingredients*
4-8 Pieces of Chicken
Salt
Pepper
1/4 c. Heavy Whipping Cream
2 eggs' whites (no yokes)
1-2 T. Tabasco sauce
1/2 - 1 bag of crushed pork-rinds
Oil or Lard (lard preferred)

Instructions:
Heat oil to about 370 degrees. You can fry this chicken in a pan, but I prefer a deep fryer. Thaw and pat dry chicken with paper towel. Rub salt and pepper into chicken. In bowl, mix or whisk heavy whipping cream, egg whites, and Tabasco sauce. In second dish, finely crush pork rinds. Dip chicken into liquid mixture then into the pork rinds. You may have to pat or press the pork rinds a bit to insure they stick to the chicken. Next, place in oil and cook for 9 or 10 minutes. If pan frying, turn chicken half way through. If you are using a small deap frier, don't overfill, cook 2 or 3 pieces at a time. Enjoy!
