  1. To make the chicken, place 1 cup of coconut oil
    in a 4-inch-deep (or deeper) cast-iron skillet over
    medium heat and heat it to 350°F.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare the egg wash and breading:
    In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. In another
    medium-sized bowl, mix together the 1½ cups of
    Parmesan cheese and the pepper.

  3. Cut the chicken into bite-sized nuggets. Dip the
    nuggets into the egg mixture, then into the cheese
    mixture, coating each nugget well.

  4. When the oil is hot, fry the nuggets in batches for
    about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink
    inside and the batter has a nice golden color. The exact
    timing will depend on how big you make the nuggets.

  5. To make the waffles, heat a waffle iron to high
    heat. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander over the
    sink and sprinkle with salt. Allow to drain for 4
    minutes. Squeeze out the excess moisture.

  6. Place the zucchini in a medium-sized bowl. Add
    the 1 cup of Parmesan, butter, and eggs and mix well.

  7. Grease the hot waffle iron. Place 3 tablespoons of
    the zucchini mixture in the center of the iron and close.
    Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the waffle is golden
    brown and crisp.
