I love fried chicken, fish, cutlets, pork chops, heck about anything you can fry. Of course I was raised in the "can't eat fried food" home because the belief was eating fat makes you fat. Of course that myth was destroyed by many doctors and authors over the past several years including myself with our FAT TO SKINNY book series. So, if you're craving a great piece of fried chicken give this recipe a try!
Ingredients (adjust for serving amounts)
Chicken pieces of choice
1 gallon of mildly salted water

2- Mix steak seasoning and Italian seasoning with ground pork rinds to taste
3- Beat equal amounts of heavy cream and eggs together
4- Heat 2 inches of oil in deep skillet to 325 degrees (this is a lower than normal fry temp so you don't burn the coating)
