Thread: Fried Chicken - YUMMM!

I mixed 1/2 Atkins bake mix and 1/2 parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken into egg and then the cheese/bake mix mixture and drop in a deep fat fryer. They turned out REALLY REALLY good. Serve with a coleslaw made with cabbage, mayo, Splenda, and vinegar. Yum Yum!

Did you have any trouble with a mess of foam when you fried the chicken?? I've used the Atkins Bake Mix a couple of times. Every time it foamed so badly that I couldn't see what I was frying.

I would like to know that too. I tried to fry shrimp using atkins bake mix and it foamed terribly and didn't stick to the batter. They were awful.

Not that I noticed-be sure your fat is nice and hot. And maybe the mix of parmesan with the mix helped it not foam too much.

Plus, make sure you pat dry the chicken (or whatever you are frying) before egging it and coating it. Egg and mix sticks better to dry chicken.

Maybe that is what I did wrong. I haven't tried using the cheese...Thanks

Boy, that sounds good.
