What do you use for "breading"?

I'm not sure where I should've posted this, but I've read about people using crushed pork rinds or almond flour as a substitute for breading on things like fried chicken. What do you use? I have coconut, almond and soy flours as well as pork rinds all in my pantry waiting to be tried out

Spicy pork rinds. They are not very spicy when used as breading and are delicious on chicken and pork chops.

Coconut flour does not work well, a mix of Kraft parm and some almond flour is ok.. but my fav so far was when I fried smelts after tossing them in very finely crushed pork rinds.. that will be my go to coating from now on.

Pork rinds and parmesan cheese!

I need to do that.

I have actually fried my own pork rinds, it's so much fun to watch them poof, and also- the yum factor.. I need to buy a bag of them online again. Flavor any way you like from there..

I did try the pork rinds once and the end result was sooooooooo greasy. Do you guys fry them or bake them?

Oh, I also have Ezekiel bread that I was thinking to maybe grind up and toast as bread crumbs?

Crushed corn flakes. I seem to be able to handle corn even though flour, oats, quinoa, rice, etc. do not agree with me anymore.

I have fried chicken with crushed pork rinds. Worked well for me.

I've used crushed Fiber One cereal before. After RNY, I used to mix no fat cream cheese and cool whip together and then put that into an ice cube tray with a crushed Fiber One/Splenda coating. Homemade low cal/low carb cheescake bites.

I also used the crushed Fiber One with butter/spices to make a crunchy coating for baked chicken.

The pork rind coating never worked out for me either. Fiber One is okay, but needs doctoring.

I do that, too. It works.
