Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whey ((protein isolate))
• 450 g boneless chicken thighs
• 4 clove garlic

• 1/4 tsp celery seed
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 45 ml unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise ((protein isolate))
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp chili oil

Instructions

1. Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Cut the chicken thighs into bite size pieces.
3. I prefer to eat the skin, but if you don't like the skin feel free to take it off ????
4. In a bowl combine the chicken with all the spices and the almond milk.
5. Mix until well combined.
6. Add the two eggs to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
7. Heat the lard (or any frying oil you'll be using) between 140-150C/285-300F.
8. When the oil is hot, dip each chicken piece, one by one, into the protein powder making sure all the sides are perfectly coated.
9. Once coated, add the chicken pieces to your hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
10. The inner temperature of each chicken bites should register at 65C/150F+ when the chicken is cooked through.
11. Add the fried chicken on a wire rack or some paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
12. Eat as is or with some spicy ranch dressing!
13. Spicy Ranch Dressing Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl together and serve with the fried chicken ????
14. Recipe Notes The chicken can be reheated the next day, but taste better and is crispier the same day ???? The ranch dressing can also be made as a salad dressing.
15. This recipe does not work in an air fryer.
16. The whey protein isolate needs to activate inside the hot oil in order to crisp up and get flaky.
