Chicken Thighs
1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Cut each thigh lengthwise into 2-3 strips, creating uniform pieces for cooking.
Breading
2
In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In another shallow dish, combine the finely crushed pork rinds with sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
3
Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the whisked egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Let any excess egg drip off, then transfer to the pork rind mixture. Press firmly to ensure the pork rinds adhere well to all sides of the chicken.
for Frying
4
Heat the tallow or lard in a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C) or shimmers slightly.
5
Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot fat, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
6
Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).
Serve
7
Remove the cooked chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a wire rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain any excess fat. Serve immediately as a crispy, flavorful snack.
