This Best Keto Fried Chicken recipe is truly the best- A moist and juicy on the inside yet crispy and crunchy on the outside, no one will know it’s low carb- Keto Fried Chicken is even better than KFC!
It would have to be fried chicken, if I had to choose one food that I always have a second stomach for. I would always choose Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), growing up, whenever it was my turn to pick dinner.
