I like chicken. I also really like that you can make it in so many different ways that it always feels like a different meal. Plus, you can do some crazy things with chicken, like crust it in pork rinds.

Yes, that’s exactly what I did for dinner recently, using pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs.

Oh my gosh. It was actually better than I could have ever expected. And super easy too. I used Pineapple Ancho Chile pork rinds and served the chicken fingers with mango salsa. But you could use any flavor of pork rinds.
