Faux KFC Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup carbquik
• 2 tsp sugar substitute (or equivalent packages) – optional
• ¼ cup egg whites
• 2 tsp KFC spices (recipe below)
  • Ingredients:
    • 2 tablespoons paprika
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon celery seed
    • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
    • 1 teaspoon ground oregano
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon basil
    • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • Directions:
    • Combine all ingredients as listed in a small jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake mixture to combine.

Directions:

• Mix together KFC spices, carbquik, sugar substitute in a container for dredging. I like to grind my carbquik in a spice/coffee grinder first to get rid of the chunky bits, but that is optional.
• Put egg whites in a similar container.
• Cut 2 large chicken breasts in half lengthwise, flatten with a mallet if possible for even cooking.
• Heat canola oil in the pan.
• Dip the chicken in the egg white, then in the Carbquik mixture.
• Fry in the pan until done, turning occasionally.
• Once out of the pan dab with paper towel to remove excess oil.

Serves 2 – usually with leftovers for lunch
