Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.
Directions
- Prepare the Breading: In a bowl, combine the CRUSHED PORK RINDS, GARLIC POWDER, ONION POWDER, SALT, and BLACK PEPPER.
- Form the Patties: In a separate bowl, combine the GROUND CHICKEN and EGG. Mix until combined, then divide into equal portions and shape into patties.
- Coat the Patties: Press each chicken patty into the seasoned PORK RIND MIXTURE, coating the exterior evenly.
- Cook: Heat the AVOCADO OIL in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and the chicken is fully cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Assemble: Place each crispy chicken patty on a LOW-CARB BUN or LETTUCE WRAP. Finish with your preferred toppings and condiments and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
Extra Crispiness: For additional crunch, bake the cooked breaded patties at 400°F for about 10 minutes after pan-frying.
Add Cheese: Place a slice of your favorite cheese over the hot chicken patty and allow it to melt before assembling the sandwich.
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pork-rind coating for extra heat.
