BUTTER BOBS FRIED CHICKEN

  




About a cup or so of lard heated to 350 in a skillet with lid, lay chicken in skin down for 7 min with lid on, (thighs and drumsticks work great), then remove the lid and continue for 7 minutes with lid off. 

Round Two:
Turn the pieces of chicken over and cook for 7 minutes lid on, then 7 minutes lid off.

Final browning & temp raising if needed: 

 If needed, flip the chicken pieces  a final time for a minute or two of browning (lid mostly on) until meat temp is 160, remove the chicken.

Have some melted butter with a teaspoon or so of garlic salt (or garlic powder plus some sea salt) brush this liberally onto both sides of each piece.  Delicious chicken is ready to serve.

CHAFFLE LOW CARB SAUSAGE AND EGG BREAKFAST


 

A mini, a small "Dash" brand chaffle maker

In a bowl mix/blend one egg and a handful ( or 3/4 cup) of shredded cheese (any kind but blended like "fiesta blend" etc works great)  shake on some salt and pepper like you would for an egg.

Add a tab of ready to melt butter and a big spoon of water
blend thoroughly

Put a pinch or spoon full of shredded cheese onto the hot griddle to help add crispness

Now dump half the egg mix onto the griddle and close the lid

Set timer for 5 minutes...but if you don't care for timers, wait till the steam stops

remove done one to a cooling rack or a paper towel and prop up one side on a plate or something so it's not laying flat   

cook the other one.

Now...once done, smear one side with mayo (the cheese/chaffle can be a bit drying on the tongue) , cover with a cooked sausage pattie and slices of a fresh tomato, then cover with a fried egg, put the top chaffle on and you've done it...a delicious low carb sausage and egg chaffle.  This pic is waiting it's egg...
