Instructions

  • Grab 1 pound of chicken breast or thighs, cut into whatever size/shape you want, and put in a glass container (preferably one with a lid).
  • Pour 2 cups of dill pickle juice over the chicken, add a little smoked paprika for color, and put in the fridge for at least 2-4 hours.
  • Once you’re ready to make them, grab a large plate/cutting board and cover with parchment paper.
  • Then grab three plates: one for an almond flour mixture, one for an egg wash, and one for our pork rind crust.
  • For the almond flour plate, start with 3/4 cup almond flour and add salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and whatever seasonings you like. I also added some hot chili powder and red chili flakes to make them spicy.
  • For the egg wash, just crack two eggs and mix well. And for the final plate, add some crushed up pork rinds.
  • Take each chicken finger and coat well with the almond flour mixture, then dip into the egg, then dip into the pork rind coating. I like to cover it with a generous amount of pork rinds. Then put onto the parchment paper.
  • I put these in the air fryer for 15-18 minutes at about 400F. Time varies by air fryer. I like to spray the air fryer with olive oil to prevent them from sticking, but this is optional.
  • Serve up with whatever sides you want. I used some pickles and adobo sauce.
