Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Using a paper towel, pat dry the halved chicken breasts to remove moisture.

In a large bowl, mix together the pork rinds, paprika, onion and chili powders. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add one halved chicken breast at a time and coat evenly with the pork rinds “breading”. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet, then repeat for remaining chicken.

Bake 25-30 min, flipping the chicken halfway. Switch to broil for the last 2-3 min, keeping an eye that the crust does not burn.

Serve with your choice of side or as a chicken burger in a low carb bun. It can also be tossed or drizzled in buffalo sauce for extra kick.
