GG’s Keto Pork Rind Chicken Nuggets

by | Nov 8, 2017 | Mains

Fried Chicken has an uncanny way of bringing warmth and comfort into my home.  I haven’t lost that with Keto.  These chicken nuggets are breaded with Keto friendly pork rinds.  They are easy to put together and taste delish.  If you want to add pizzazz to your nuggets, soak them in dill pickle juice overnight as a marinade.  Then follow the recipe as written.  The marinade adds a kick to the flavor.  I love it.
