Notes
This recipe serves 8 and contains 3 net carbs per serving.
If you prefer not to fry the chicken in oil, you can use an
air fryer
instead or bake it in an oven.
If you're a fan of spicy food like I am, you can add a habanero pepper while cooking. Skip the pepper altogether if you don't like spicy food.
