• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts – cut into bite-sized chunks. Chicken breast is leaner and provides a great protein source while staying lower in calories.
• ½ cup dill pickle juice – this adds moisture and a tangy kick that is synonymous with chicken nuggets. The pickling process also helps tenderize the meat.
• 2 large eggs – used for the egg wash, eggs help the breading adhere to the chicken, ensuring a crispy coating.
• 1 cup almond flour – a low-carb alternative to traditional breadcrumbs, contributing to the crunch factor without the excess carbohydrates.
• ¼ cup grated fresh parmesan – this cheese adds a nice depth of flavor and helps with browning during frying.
• ½ tsp salt (to taste) – enhances the overall flavor of the nuggets.
• ½ tsp garlic powder – infuses the nuggets with a savory aroma and taste.
• ¼ tsp onion powder – another layer of flavor that complements the garlic perfectly.
• ¼ tsp paprika – provides a subtle smokiness and vibrant color to the coating.
• Avocado oil – chosen for frying as it has a high smoke point and is rich in healthy fats.

For the dipping sauce, you’ll need the following:

• ¼ cup mayonnaise – offers a creamy base for the sauce.
• 2 tbsp keto barbecue sauce – adds sweetness and depth without the sugars found in traditional barbecue sauces.
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard – gives a slight tang that balances the richness of the sauce.
• 1 tbsp keto honey or a similar sweetener – for those desiring a hint of sweetness without the carbs.
