A keto-friendly, crispy chicken recipe using crushed pork rinds instead of flour for a low carb, flavorful bang bang chicken dinner that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch strips
  • 2 cups (60 grams) crushed plain pork rinds
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour (can substitute almond flour)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other high smoke point oil
  • For the bang bang sauce:
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons low sugar sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into 1-inch strips and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Crush pork rinds finely using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin; transfer to a shallow bowl.
  3. Mix crushed pork rinds with coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken strip into the eggs, then dredge in the pork rind mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil. Cook chicken strips in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
  6. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey or sweetener in a small bowl to make the bang bang sauce.
  7. Toss cooked chicken strips gently in the bang bang sauce until evenly coated.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to ensure coating sticks well. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and maintain crispiness. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Rest cooked chicken on a wire rack before tossing in sauce to keep crust crispy. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to preserve crunch; avoid microwaving.
