Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 (3.25-oz) pkg fried pork rinds, crushed
- 6 (6-oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 6 hamburger buns, split
- ½ (16-oz) jar dill pickle chips
- Tangy Coleslaw (recipe follows)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Beat eggs lightly in a shallow bowl. Place crushed pork rinds in a separate shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast in beaten egg, and dredge in pork rinds. Dip in beaten egg again, and dredge in crushed pork rinds again, pressing gently to adhere.
