Crispy Fried Chicken (low carb version)

I love fried chicken.  I will openly admit, mostly for the breading portion... so how does this fit in to a low carb lifestyle where I (obviously) shouldn't be eating bread?  On a recent trip to Florida, we stopped at a roadside stand in GA and picked up some peanut flour (it sounded interesting).  It's not the *absolute* lowest carb thing in the would, but from what I can find, it has about 20g of carb per cup... and considering that I used about a cup (considering that some was left over) for this recipe, it doesn't seem so bad!!

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 3 chicken breasts, cut into strips/pieces (I assume you can also purchase tenders)
• 2T cajun seasoning
• 2T salt
• 1T ground black pepper
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1.5c peanut flour
• 1t ground oregano
• 2T cajun/rib/any seasoning mix you love
• 1t onion powder
• 1/2t garlic salt
• 1t garlic powder
• 3t Italian seasoning
• 1/2t chipotle chili powder
• 1t black pepper
• 2t salt
• 2T paprika
• crisco/frying oil (I think we used about 2 cups)

Directions:

1. Put chicken breast pieces in a large plastic bag and cover with water, add 2T cajun seasoning, 2T salt, and 1T ground black pepper.  Let sit for about an hour.
2. In another large, plastic bag (I used gallon size), combine the peanut flour with the remaining seasonings and shake together.
3. Put the eggs in a pie pan (or other large dish object) and add about a tablespoon of water.
4. Pat the chicken pieces dry, and cover in the egg solution then put (a couple pieces at a time) into the bag with the seasoned flour and shake.
5. Place the pieces on a rack to let dry while you work on the remaining pieces.
6. Once the pieces are dry, repeat with the egg wash and dredging process a second time (I did a couple pieces a third time just for fun to use up the eggs).
7. Heat the oil to 365 (F) and start with the frying!!  Something to keep in mind - the peanut flour does make them turn brown almost immediately, and while they start to look a little "overdone", they actually aren't.  Make sure to leave your chicken in long enough to cook all the way through!
8. Then, grab a bit of BBQ sauce (or other sauce), if desired and chow down!!  :)
