- NaNeggs
- 1serving Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
- 2cupsunseasoned pork rind crumbs* crushed

Instructions
- To make the fried chicken, combine pork rinds and Romano cheese in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add the Keto Chow to a third small mixing bowl.
- Place two cookie sheets to the side, with a cooling rack over one. The first will be used to place the chicken after it is breaded; the second will be used after the chicken has been cooked.
- Heat lard or tallow to 400℉ in a cast iron pot. While it is heating, proceed with breading the chicken.
- Handling one piece of chicken at a time with tongs, coat chicken thoroughly in egg wash and shake off excess.
- Coat the chicken in the Keto Chow, then place back into the egg wash and shake off excess.
- Place into the pork rinds and cheese mixture, pressing firmly to coat both sides, then place on the cooking sheet.
- Place the breaded chicken into the pot. Do not overcrowd it, as that will lower the temperature of the oil.
- Fry for 2- 4 minutes, turning until each side is brown.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, place on the cooling rack and salt immediately, before it cools.
- To make the orange chicken sauce, measure all ingredients into a large lidded jar or a blender bottle.
- Tighten lid and shake ingredients until mixed.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add mixture to the pan.
- Mix with a whisk intermittently until boiling. Once boiling, whisk frequently for 5 minutes.
- Pour sauce onto cooked chicken.
