Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 large chicken breasts
16 oz. jar of pickles, just the juice (try finding one with 0-1 carbs per serving)
2 cups peanut oil (or whatever oil you prefer to fry with)
4 oz. plain pork rinds, finely crushed
2 whole eggs, beaten

Directions:
Directions:
Place chicken breasts and pickle juice in a freezer-sized ziplock bag. Store in fridge overnight to brine.
Drain pickle juice from bag.
Slice chicken breast into tender or nuggets, whatever you prefer.
One at a time, place a strip of chicken in egg wash and then in the bowl of crushed pork rinds. Press down to get the coating to stick-the wetness of the pickle juice on the help the crumbs to stick.
Place on a plate until you are ready to fry.
In a medium sized fry pan, heat peanut oil over medium-high heat. You don’t need a lot, just enough to cover half the chicken tender.
Fry on each size of chicken for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Place chicken tenders cool on a paper towel-lined plate until all are fried.
Serve with Chilpotle Aioli *see recipe below.
