Eggs
Tallow
Salt

Method

PREP

Cut 4 oz chicken breast into nugget-size pieces and salt them. Crush 1/2 oz pork rinds to fine crumbs. Beat 1 egg in a small bowl — you will use about half as wash and discard the rest.

COOKING

Dip each piece in the egg, then press it into the pork-rind crumbs to coat all over.
Fry in a thin layer of tallow over medium 2 to 3 minutes a side until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through — or bake at 400F for 18 minutes on a rack.

FINISH

Drain on a rack a moment and salt while hot. Serves 1.

💡 Pro-Tip: Pork rinds are the zero-carb breadcrumb — they crisp up exactly like a fried coating with no flour. Crush them fine so they cling, and press firmly after the egg dip so nothing flakes off in the pan.
