I found a recipe in Fran McCullough's Low Carb Cookbook and tweaked it a bit. I have even tried oven baking it and it works! Please note that the brining time is not included.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out great! It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I served it with a side of mashed cauliflower and it was a hit with my family.
