Notes

For keto/low-carb: Replace all-purpose flour with 200g almond flour + 50g coconut flour + 5g xanthan gum
Use allulose or erythritol instead of honey for reduced glycemic impact
Chicken can be cooked under the oven's broiler for quicker crisping
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 2 days
