This popular dinner treat is easy to make at home, even if you aren't eating grains.
- 1 lb. Mangalitsa lard
- 1 lb. GMO free, pasture raised boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cp. almond flour
- 2 tsp. sea salt
- 2 tsp. garlic: diced fresh or dried
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
-
Place the lard in a deep frying dish and heat over medium to medium high heat to pre-heat to 350-400 degrees.
-
In a gallon size ziploc bag, combine the dry ingredients. Set aside.
-
Slice the chicken breast across the grain into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into smaller pieces if desired.
-
Place pieces into the bag and shake until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Allow to set for a minute or two so the coating adheres to the pieces.
-
When the fat is hot, carefully place the pieces in it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the meat is white up the sides. Turn and cook for about 3 more minutes.
-
Remove the pieces from the fat and drain on a cooling rack or on absorbent paper. Enjoy with your favorite sauce: mustard, honey mustard, BBQ, or ranch.
Try using other non-grain "flours" such as potato flour or coconut flour. Each has a unique flavor to add.
