Ingredients
- 1 lb. Mangalitsa Lard
- 1 lb. GMO Free, Pasture Raised, Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast or Tenderloin
- 1 c. Almond Flour
- 2 tsp. Sea Salt
- 2 tsp. Garlic, diced fresh or dried
- 1 Dash Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
-
Start out by putting come of the the lard in a deep frying dish and heat over medium to medium high heat to pre-heat to 350-400º F.
-
Next, in a gallon size ziploc bag, combine the dry ingredients. Set aside.
-
Slice the chicken breast across the grain into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into smaller pieces if desired.
-
At this point, place some of the chicken pieces into the bag and shake until the pieces are thoroughly coated. Allow to set for a minute or two so the coating adheres to the pieces.
-
When the fat is hot, carefully place the pieces in it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the meat is white up the sides. Turn and cook for about 3 more minutes.
-
Finally, remove the pieces from the fat and drain on a cooling rack or on absorbent paper. Enjoy with your favorite sauce: mustard, honey mustard, BBQ, or ranch.
