1 cup coconut flour (but didn't use allot)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (but didn't use allot)
garlic salt, Lawry's seasoned salt
6 chicken legs
coconut oil

in the deep fryer for about 20 minutes, turned out amazing, here's a pic...nyg31is2avrl.jpg

    If you want to be really accurate, enter the chicken legs as a recipe. Enter each ingredient used. Choose the serving size as 1. Measure the total weight of the chicken legs once they are cooked. Weigh the chicken legs to be eaten. Divide the weight of the legs to be eaten by the total weight of the cooked legs. Use this ratio to determine the proportion of the recipe to be eaten. Job done.

    I have some chicken legs and am going to try this! First time, I would weigh breading ingredients before and after breading to see how much used, use chicken weight for legs. Hopefully there is a USDA entry that is fairly accurate. I usually ignore frying oil or add just a small amount per serving. Proper temp frying means food should not absorb much oil at all. If you want to be really accurate weigh or measure oil both before and after cooking.

    Looks good! I also use Almond flour and coconut flour, or almond flour and parmesan for breading.

    Both of these sound like great ways of doing it! Will have to go with the first way this time as I didn't weigh any ingredients. Thanks for the suggestions!

    They look yummy! How did you make the coconut stick to the chicken?
