This low carb option for crispy chicken tenders is perfect for paleo or high protein dieters. Using pork skins for the crust not only adds delicious flavor but a crunch that is out of this world. The creamy garlic dip is indulgent and also low in carbohydrates.

How To Make low carb chicken tenders

Step 1

Pat chicken dry with paper towel, season with pepper only, pork rinds are already salted

Step 2

Place pork rinds in a food processor and blend until they resemble fine bread crumbs. Pour crumbs into a shallow bowl, add parmesan cheese, stir to combine.
Step 3

Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Dip chicken into butter, then coat each piece with crumb mixture. Bake at 375 F. for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown, be sure to turn the tenders at least once during the baking process. Tenders can be baked or deep fried. If deep frying, heat oil to 320 F and fry tenders for 8-12 minutes. Drain on paper towel and serve with Creamy Garlic Dip
