> While it isn’t really low carb, I use cornstarch for the chicken I fry at home for Chinese food meals - it requires very little to add crispiness, so at ~7g/T, if I use just 1/4 cup for an entire batch of chicken (probably 1.5lbs cut into smallish chunks), the end product doesn’t have too many carbs.
