Ingredients

Keto Friendly Pork Rinds

• Kevala Avocado ½ Gallon (Refined)
• Joinkitch Kitchen Tongs, Stainless Steel
• 2 lb. Boneless skinless chicken tenderloin strips
• 2 Eggs beaten
• 1 cup Crushed pork rind crumbs
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• ½ teaspoon Paprika
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions

•  Begin by placing your oil into a deep skillet or pot, and heating it over medium high heat on the stovetop. If you are using an air fryer instead, begin to get it preheated if needed. 
• Cut the chicken tenderloin strips into bite sized “popcorn” pieces. 
• In a shallow bowl, place the two beaten eggs plus salt and pepper to taste.
• In a separate shallow bowl, combine the crushed pork rind crumbs, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin and paprika. Mix to combine all of the ingredients together well.
• Dredge the chicken pieces in first the egg mixture, and then coat them in the pork rind crumb mixture. Place them onto a plate until you have finished coating all of the chicken pieces.
• Place the chicken pieces into the heated oil with tongs. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. Be careful not to heat your oil on high heat. If your oil is smoking, the outside of your popcorn chicken will burn before the inside is fully cooked.
• Serve with your favorite keto approved dipping sauces.
