I posted yesterday about frying oil and wanted to say...MY CHICKEN WAS FABULOUS! In fact, my husband ate 4 of my drumettes and almost made me cry..as he had a big bag of chicken to fry for him and the boys that I would not be eating. Even he was impressed with my 'diet food.'

I made one package of drummettes (a dozen in a pack).
Rinse and pat dry the chicken.

I pulverized half a bag of pork rinds and put it in a zip-lock bag large enough to leave room after the chicken was in it.
Then I added 1/3 cup of Krusteaz Carb Simple pancake mix.
Add seasonings to taste.

Add chicken and shake it up. The key is to leave it over night, shaking every once in a while.

The only carbs were from the pancake mix, which is 9 net carbs for 1/3 of a cup of mix. Divided by 14 (because there is mix left in the bag for at least two more drummettes when you are done) and each piece was about 0.6 carbs!

They were SO good. Crispy and crunchy and the pork rind really added to the flavor like I hadn't expected. Really, really delicious. My hubby asked me to make ALL the chicken that way next time.

sounds really good. sue

was this baked or did you fry this recipe? sue

okay i tried this recipe. it was good. i baked mine at 350 degrees untill cooked. i did make it alittle diffrent than the recipe. mine goes like this. mine has a few more carbs though.
