Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 lb Chicken (Fillet, Breast or Thigh) skinless, cut into 1 inch nuggets
  • 1 medium Egg
  • 0.5 oz Pork Rinds crushed (around ½ cup)
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • ½ cup Dill Pickle Juice to marinate
  • Mayonnaise to serve

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the chicken fillets for 2-3 minutes. This will keep them tender and juicy inside.
  • Optional step: Transfer in a mixing bowl and cover with the pickle juice. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F/200°C and line a large baking pan with baking paper.
  • Process the pork rinds or dried onions with the spices in a blender or food processor to get a crumb consistency. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Whisk the egg in another bowl.
  • Get the chicken and drain the pickle juice. Dip each nugget into the whisked egg and the pork rind/dried onions mixture to coat well.
  • Transfer the nuggets to the baking pan and bake for 20 minutes until crispy.
  • Serve hot with mayonnaise or your favorite low carb dip.
