I found a recipe in Fran McCullough's Low Carb Cookbook and tweaked it a bit. I have even tried oven baking it and it works! Please note that the brining time is not included.

I'm not a big fan of fried chicken, but I decided to try this recipe because it was low-carb. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the coating didn't overpower the chicken.

I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have all of the ingredients, but the chicken still turned out great. I can't wait to try it again with the correct ingredients.
