INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We utilize finely ground almond flour because it will replace regular flour and create a crispy keto coating. As a substitute, you can use crushed pork rinds.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • The egg mixture will get richer with the addition of heavy cream. As a substitute, you can use unsweetened almond milk.

PAPRIKA AND SMOKED PAPRIKA:

  • Paprika will provide color and bold flavor, while smoked paprika will add a deeper taste. You can use extra paprika if smoked paprika is unavailable.

GARLIC AND ONION POWDER:

  • Garlic and onion powder will provide the classic savory flavor of the coating. Use a small amount of finely minced garlic if preferred.

CAYENNE PEPPER:

  • Cayenne will provide the spicy Bloomin-style flavor. For a softer chicken, you can cut it down or leave it out.

CHICKEN BREASTS:

  • Chicken breasts will provide a lean, protein-rich base for the recipe. As a replacement, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs.

AVOCADO OIL:

  • Avocado oil is suitable for high-heat frying and keeps the recipe keto-friendly. As an alternative, you can use refined coconut oil.

SUGAR-FREE KETCHUP:

  • Sugar-free ketchup will add tomato flavor while keeping carbohydrates low. As a substitute, you can use a small amount of tomato paste mixed with vinegar.
