• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 teaspoons white pepper
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for air fryer only)

Instructions

• Place chicken in a large bowl. Mix almond milk and vinegar then pour over chicken. Let the chicken soak in the liquid for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

• Dip each piece of chicken in dry pork rind mixture until coated.

Air Fryer:

• Spread 1 tablespoon coconut oil in bottom of air fryer basket.
• Arrange chicken in single layer on basket.
• Air fry at 360°F for 10 minutes, rotate, then air fry another 10 minutes. Test chicken temperature to reach 165°F and continue cooking if needed. 

Oven:

• Arrange chicken on a rack in baking pan. Bake at 350°F for about 50 minutes or until meat reaches 165°F.

Notes

Pork rinds give the fried chicken a crispy coating but almond flour should work well too. The vinegar keeps the chicken juicy and makes it extra tender. I used regular white vinegar, but I’m sure apple cider vinegar will work too.
