Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
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

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.
