Instructions
 

Fried Chicken

  • Whisk egg and milk together in a large bowl. Place all of your chicken into the bowl, ensuring it is all covered. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • While you wait, feel free to make your waffles and set aside. You can also prep your toppings.
  • Heat a pan on the stove over medium heat with avocado oil for about five minutes or until warm.
  • While the pan is heating, mix together cassava flour, paprika, garlic salt and onion powder in a large bowl and place next to the stove.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place the bowl next to the cassava flour mixture.
  • Piece by piece, move chicken from the milk to the flour using a fork and cover completely.
  • Carefully transfer the chicken to the stove and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Tip: if the bottom of your pan is coated in excess flour after cooking a batch, clean out pan and start the oil heating step again to achieve clean, not burnt chicken.
  • Move the chicken to a drying rack and let cool so that the coating is less likely to fall off.
  • Assemble your chicken & waffles with your toppings of choice and enjoy!

Grain Free Waffles

  • Mix together flour, collagen and baking soda. If not using collagen, you can swap it for your favorite protein powder or 2 tbsp of additional cassava flour.
  • In the same bowl, mix in the remaining ingredients until completely combined.
  • Heat and grease your waffle iron and bake! Makes 2-3 large waffles.
