it’s such a complete “brain save” for me. I literally do nothing.The texture ends up being a tad different, but not enough that my family has ever noticed. 🙂 The kids love having it cooked in baggies too because I will keep some in the fridge and it makes them much more apt to cook up something on their own. 🙂
No flour in this recipe ???
Correct, this is the seasoning only. If you’re looking for a recipe that uses our seasoning, these Keto KFC Chicken Tenders are one of our most popular dishes: https://how2doketo.com/keto-copycat-kfc-chicken-tenders/
You didn’t mention what volume of bread crumbs to use with the spices!?
There are no bread crumb in the seasoning itself.
How much of the seasoning mix do I use per half pound chicken breast?
You can use as much or as little as you like!
