- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika

Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch nuggets. Transfer to a large ziplock bag and add pickle juice to the bag. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes up to overnight. The longer, the better.

n food processor, pulse the pork rinds until they are a crumb consistency. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the spices to pork rinds and fluff with a fork.
