Chick-Fil-A clone another try

[TMB]

Was thinking about dinner and Kimmie said you ever going to do that Pickle chicken again?   I said YEP, tonight but as a whole breast and fried in oil vs using the Air Fryer....

So I just got to looking to see what I had in the pantry and I had just gotten a new box of CaebQuick so I said "SELF" lets try something new

So instead of the 50/50 Almond flour and Parmesan cheese mixture I normally use I went with 25/50/25 That's 25% CarbQuick-50% Almond flour and 25% Parmesan cheese Then added 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic Powder and 1 tsp pepper

Chicken soaked in pickle juice for 3 hrs (more would be better)  then patted dry then into egg wash then into the 25/50/25 mixture then in to the fridge to set the coating a little

Fried in oil til golden brown and let drian on papper towel.      All that was missing was the bun and the "PICKLE" !!  Very close to Chick-Fil-A

True reason I wanted to see the difference in frying vs air fryer and there is!  BUT, I wouldn't want to cook them this way eveytime though.   OIL cost, smell, mess and clean up  are much worse than an air fryer

I agree it is like Thanksgiving you would not want it everyday but it is special

Great looking chicken. Sometimes you just have to have deep fry

Tommy,

Have you seen the Serious Eats report on home-made Chic-fil-a?   I used their process once before (also before I was low carbing it) and it really does taste like a Chic-fil-a.  I was telling the wife earlier tonight I think we should try that spice mix with CarbQuik and pop some in the air fryer to see how it works.  My thought was to use a light coating of mayo to get the flour to stick.  That is what I do when I grill boneless/skinless chicken.  Just enough mayo and sprinkle with my favorite rub and grill.
