The hardest part about this low carb spicy chicken nuggets recipe is not eating the entire batch every time you make them!

They have just enough spice to give you a little kick, but are not too spicy so that they are still a kid friendly keto recipe!

Keto Spicy Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb. Boneless skinless chicken tenderloin strips
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 c. Crushed pork rind crumbs
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (I use avocado oil) or an air fryer to use instead if desired

How To Make Spicy Chicken Nuggets

Begin by placing your oil into a deep skillet or pot, and heating it over medium high heat on the stovetop. If you are using an air fryer instead, begin to get it preheated if needed.

Cut the chicken tenderloin strips into bite sized “popcorn” pieces.

In a shallow bowl, place the two beaten eggs plus salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate shallow bowl, combine the crushed pork rind crumbs, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin and paprika. Mix to combine all of the ingredients together well.

Dredge the chicken nugget pieces in first the egg mixture, and then coat them in the pork rind crumb mixture. Place them onto a plate until you have finished coating all of the chicken pieces.

Place the chicken pieces into the heated oil with tongs. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. Be careful not to heat your oil on high heat. If your oil is smoking, the outside of your spicy chicken nuggets will burn before the inside is fully cooked.

Serve with your favorite keto approved dipping sauces.

    I have never used pork rinds to coat anything before. I used your recipe and threw them in the air fryer and it is soooo good! What a simple, but delicious recipe!! I will definitely be making these again and again.
