Ingredients<\/h3>\n

\n
• 3 lb chicken thighs,, boneless and skinless<\/li>\n
• 2 cups pickle juice,, from a jar of pickles<\/li>\n
• 2 large eggs,, beaten<\/li>\n
• 1 heaping tbsp mayo<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 tsp coarse salt<\/li>\n
• 1\/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n
• 1-2 cup whey protein isolate, (or 1-2 cups finely crushed pork rinds)<\/li>\n
• 2 cups avocado oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Instructions<\/h3>\n

  \n
  1. Place chicken in a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour pickle juice over chicken and place in refrigerator. Marinate for 8-24 hours, depending on how much pickle flavor you want your chicken to have (I go for the full 24)!<\/li>\n
  2. Drain chicken and discard pickle juice. Pat chicken dry and cut into 2-3 pieces each, if desired. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n
  3. Mix together eggs, mayo, dijon, salt and pepper, then toss the chicken in the mixture, taking care to make sure it’s entirely coated.<\/li>\n
  4. Preheat the oil in a large, deep skillet until shimmering. Working quickly, dredge each piece of chicken in whey protein (or pork rinds) and place in the oil. Cook until both sides are well-browned and chicken is cooked through, turning just once.<\/li>\n
  5. Drain cooked chicken pieces on paper towels. Serve with your favorite sauce. We like the Garlic Mustard Aioli from Trader Joe’s (or make your own) or a good, homemade ranch dressing. Be happy that you can eat yummy things like this on a keto “diet”! \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
