This video started with the idea of trying out a TikTok keto recipe for cheddar pickle chips and wound up with me creating the best keto breading I’ve ever had. The amazing thing is that this breading has only TWO ingredients and only 2g of TOTAL carbs per 3/4 cups (90g). The magic happens by combining these two ingredients into a food processor. When air fried, it turns into something that looks and feels like it’s been batter fried rather than breaded.
I won’t make a printable recipe for this because it’s just so simple.
In a food processor, combine:
– 1 cup loosely packed sharp cheddar (60g)
– 1/3 cup loosely packed pork rind panko (30g)
That’s it! The yield winds up being about 3/4 cup of breading (90g) with the following macros for an entire batch:
Total carbs – 2g
Protein – 33g
Fat – 31g
416 calories
If you do a tray of 12 pickle chips, macros per chip are:
Total carbs – .67g
Protein – 5g
Fat – 5g
71 calories

Thank you so much 💓 I've struggled with pork rinds because of the smell. But I have to say this combination of cheddar and rinds is absolutely the bomb on chicken tenders. I have a super picky daughter who devoured these tonight. I used blue cheese dip and it was finger licking good.
Awesome That looks pretty good your way. I’ve been using pork grind Panko to fry Chicken butt with the cheese it would have a little oil in it and probably be great for air fryers and just baking.
I make mayonnaise sort of like you do, I watched a few recipes but I put a cup of avocado oil an egg a little mustard and a tablespoon of lemon juice and a little salt. When I make ranch I use that as the base and add half a cup of sour cream and the chives and parsley garlic and onion powder a little more salt and a little more lemon juice and a little pepper but I’ve done it before where I substituted about a quarter cup of oil with grease after cooking bacon and it had a little chunks of bacon in it still and you could definitely taste it, I’ve also done it with just the mayonnaise. For some reason I feel the need to eat it faster like it will go bad faster but bacon grease should last quite a while especially in the refrigerator so I think a week is still a reasonable length of time to keep it around.
I’ve also use the mayonnaise base and the ranch base as well and you things like Sriracha and Cajun spice and horseradish mustard and different things to make different sauces, this would be awesome to add to some veggie sticks for a snack plate. The veggie sticks get a little old after a while, this would give it some good variety. I’ve tried the cheese crisps before and they’re OK but not really worth the time for me, this seems a bit more substantial. I’m guessing you could also do zucchini and onions and kind of make a version of fried zucchini or onion rings. Maybe I’ll have to get an air fryer. 🤔
If you’re going to do a TickTock video then you need to dance in it and talk like a teenager. 😂
Oh my god! This is awesome. Tried salmon coated first for a large fish finger. Really nice. Tonight chicken Kiev, amazing! Next up scotch egg. Can’t wait. Thanks Steve, this really is a game. Hanger for me.
Re: breading technique, I get good results by putting the breading in a plastic container, placing the egged food in it, and just shaking the container with the lid on until it's all coated.
Absolute Perfection 😁 I’m so happy, mine turned out sooooo GOOD‼️
Hi Steve the video I saw it was a lot less cheese so thiner so more crunch and why did u choose not to place them on paper towels to absorb ..maybe to show us first had just how much cheese juice/fat was shedded.. another video I can't wait to try
Keto is king
I think I’m gonna try this as a tuna Chaffle. 🙂
I think the first one I saw use it was “Neisha Loves it”. If you’ve ever watched Dr Ken Berry, Neisha is his wife. Their whole family is Keto/Carnivore.
I’ve seen pork panko and cheese used on chicken tenders by a few others. It always looks amazing!!!
That's it! You have convinced me. I'm going to buy an Air Fryer. Would you be so kind as to recommend one for me please?
I saw those cheddar pickle muffin tin things on Tiktok too! I'm not really a fan of Tiktok but I am definitely a fan of yours. Can't wait to try your version.
Looking at the positive, all the oil that comes out of the cheese, you eating less oil.
But then, there is those who don’t mind all the oil. I did like the crunch. In fact, I have been doing the breading with cheese and pork skin in my cooking for over a year. I do mine with jalapeño slices and dip them in a cilantro cumin dip. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
I tried this and it’s a game changer! No seasoning nor sauce needed 😁 on a side note, what mic are you using? The sound quality is great!
thanks
Cheese juice, lol. Made me chuckle
Been a minute since I've eaten anything other than hamburger meat, eggs and sausage (carnivore) but THIS looks intriguing! Thanks for the video!
I must have done something wrong. Didn’t have a food processor so I used a nutribullett came out clumpy doesn’t look like yours
Going to have to try this on chicken and maybe a pork loin piece 😋
Really delicious snack for me. Thanks Steve
