Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken tenderloins
- ½ cup pork rind crumbs
- ¼ cup whey protein isolate, plain
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Marinating the chicken
- In a bowl, mix together heavy cream and hot sauce. Add chicken and let marinade for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. After marinating, we can start preparing the chicken.
Breading the chicken
- Preheat oven to 420º F.
- In a bowl, combine pork rind crumbs, whey protein, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, chili powder, paprika, salt and black pepper. This is our breading mixture.
- Using a fork, shake off any excess marinade and then drop the chicken directly into the breading mixture. Move it around to coat. I do this one-by-one to ensure each one is covered entirely.
- Position the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the chicken until internal temperature hits 165º F and the outside is golden brown. For tenderloins, this is around 15 minutes. For other cuts, your time will likely be longer.
- Enjoy!
