Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a shallow dish.
  2. Step 2: Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes, then dip each piece into beaten eggs mixed with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Roll cubes in pork rind mixture until fully coated, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Arrange coated nuggets on baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. While baking, whisk mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp dried dill, and a pinch of salt for dipping sauce; serve warm with nuggets.
