I am so glad I found this recipe, love the ingredients too and we always buy pork rinds anyway! I didn’t have 2 of the ingredients so I improvised except for the celery salt. It is better then Shake n’ Bake! Can’t wait to make it again! I am also going to try it with chicken, just have to buy a lot more pork rinds…..ALDI’s has the best ones.
seekinggoodeats says
Hi Jean! Thanks so much for your feedback, and I’m super happy you loved it! I literally use this stuff on a lot of things – even turkey. Recently I sprinkled it on fish and added some parmesan cheese. That was really good. LOL! I will have to try Aldi pork rinds for sure! Have a good day! 🙂
Ginette Mercier says
When you say 2-1/2 cups of pork rinds, it’s crushed right?
seekinggoodeats says
Hello, yes 2 1/2 cups of crushed pork rind.
