Pork Rind Crusted Chicken Tenders (low carb)

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add salt and pepper to chicken
- 2
Scramble eggs in a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Place pork rinds in a ziplock bag and crush using either a rolling pin or bottom of sautee pan until you get the consistency of bread crumbs. You can also place in a food processor. I used BBQ flavored pork rinds for this recipe. Pour crumbs in a bowl for dredging.

Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. One at a time, add chicken tender to egg mix, then with other hand place into pork rind mix. Press crumbs into chicken and make sure to throughly coat both sides. Place on a plate and repeat process. You can place in refrigerator until ready to cook. Dont let it sit too long. If you wait longer than 15 minutes the pork rinds might absorb too much moisture. We want crispy tenders!

Add oil to a large sautee pan. Depending on the size of your pan you may need more or less than 1/2 cup. *I put enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. This is a pan fry, not a deep fry method. I like avocado oil or vegetable oil. Anything with a high smoke point. Heat oil on medium to high heat. When oil is heated after a few minutes, add chicken to sautee pan. Make sure to not over crowd chicken. You may need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your pan.

Cook chicken for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown on each side. Remove from pan onto either a wire rack or a plate covered in paper towel. Serve immediately to maintain the crunchy texture. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and side dishes.

You can season chicken with whatever spices you like such as oregano, paprika, turmeric, ranch powder mix, etc. You can also buy different flavored pork rinds these days. No need to add salt to the pork rinds, but definitely season your chicken so all layers are flavorful. Hope you enjoy!

Dairy Queen in my home state of Kentucky, has chicken strip baskets and they include crispy fried chicken strips, French fries, a piece of Texas toast and a side of white gravy. In Florida however, I can’t find a DQ within 50 miles that serves more than an ice cream cone. I make my own. Here’s another cracker fried chicken tender to die for.

Basic Chicken Tenders Basic Chicken Tenders
It’s all about what you dip them in am I right? Out of 4 half breasts, I made an entire platter. Very inexpensive and very delish. It only took 30 minutes from start to finish. I’m not saying it isn’t a messy process, but the end results are worth it. They cook up quick and beautiful and they freeze well. SherryRandall: The Leftover Chronicles -

Breaded & Pan-Fried Chicken Tenders Breaded & Pan-Fried Chicken Tenders
I copied a dish that an Italian chef made on TV and it was a huge hit with my family I couldn't remember all of the ingredients, but I just changed the spices and it came out really good, so this became one of my easy and delicious recipes.In Step 1, if the chicken isn't thinned out, they will be difficult to cook all the way through the center.In Step 2, besides the panko and the grated cheese, the amount of spices is just an estimate.I just used some pasta ingredients that I had already. If you add too much it will be too salty though so only use a moderate amount. Recipe by Keitandesuyo cookpad.japan -
