mac24312 · 01-29-2008, 03:26 PM

I just made them for the first time a few min ago. They are wonderful! Cleo I used your recipe expect for I use a small spoonful of Carbquick in with the crushed pork rinds. I took a small skillet and got it hot and keep turning them until they were nice and brown. Now I know what I am fixing to have with my LC pizza for Superbowl Sunday! Just keep the wonderful, easy recipes coming g/f!!

Thanks again and HUGS

I don't have Mrs. Dash. Call me a purist. What would y'all use as a substitute? Salt, pepper, garlic powder, what else?

mac24312 · 01-29-2008, 03:48 PM

Instead of Mrs Dash I used Cajun Seasoning in my pork rinds..so good!!

Has anyone tried to bake the chicke and or the cheese sticks instead of frying? I wonder if the pork rinds would stay on better???

I was getting the chicken tenders ready for tonights dinner and got the pork rinds chopped up in the food processor and got to wondering...

Hunts makes a spaghetti sauce that is No Sugar Added that is 4 net carbs per 1/2 cup. It's about .89 here. Add a few spices and it's not bad.

Tecnokitty · 01-30-2008, 07:55 AM

I was looking for that Hunts sauce 2 days ago when I was at the store and couldn;t find it. Do you happen to know the exact name of it?

Hunts No Sugar Added Italian Sauce-lg can. The only store that carries it by me is Woodmans.

Big Red · 01-30-2008, 08:07 AM

RAGU makes a no sugar added also but it has 10 carbs 2 of fiber so I guess 8 net carbs per 1/2 cup and it is really also.

Never mind!!!!I had these fried last night and they were to die for.

I don't think baking would give that kind of flavor!!!!

I made the Hubby's with Krusteze Bake and fry mix and mine were better than his. He wants pork rind coating next time.

I put a Tbs. of miniCarb bake mix with the pork rinds. I don't know if that needed to be done, but someone mentioned it and I tried it. I also put the pork rinds in a pie plate so I could really smash them on the chicken and cheese sticks. Seasoned them with Johnny's season salt (no sugar added).

I only had 2 mozzarella cheese sticks so I used them and also cut up some Queso Fresco cheese. The mozz. cheese totally melted (guess I didn't watch them close enough) but the Queso Fresco cheese held up very well and the coating stayed on.

The chicken fingers were crunchy, moist and delicious also.

I foud at least 2 DELICIOUS super bowl snacks!!!!

Thank you!!!!

Tecnokitty · 01-30-2008, 08:31 AM

Thanks Lisa, they def don't have it at my Kroger then. I've never been to a Woodmans. Do you have any other suggestions? We can't afford to do our Whole Foods trip until after I get paid on the 5th and I'd like to have an alternative that is in our reg store.

Thanks Big Red, I do not subtract fiber so 10 carbs is kinda high for me

I also like the Bella Vita sauces-lc and the rest of my family like them. I pay $3.69 a jar. The Raos is good but too expensive-$8.69 a jar.

Do you have a Meier's? I haven't tried it but their store brand w/artichokes is really good according to Haystar.

Tecnokitty · 01-30-2008, 08:49 AM

I don't think my grocery has the Bella Vita either cause you had told me about that before so I had looked

Never heard of a Meier's either. Too bad cause that sauce with artichokes sounds delish.

Determinedtolose · 01-30-2008, 12:10 PM

Try Safeway Kitty, that's where I bought mine.

Tecnokitty · 01-30-2008, 12:30 PM

Hiya Diana

, we don't have Safeways but we do have Tom Thumbs. There is one in my town but not nearly as close as the Kroger is. Maybe I can drag DH there to have a look sometime this week.

Kaos0100 · 01-30-2008, 12:59 PM

I get it at WalMart

UtahMama · 01-30-2008, 04:22 PM

I'm a believer! I made fried chicken drumsticks with the porkrinds and they were yummy! I added garlic powder, pepper, salt and paprika. I also ground the pork rinds up in a small food processor and they were crushed in a few seconds. I can't wait to try it with the cheese! Thanks Cleo!

tom_912 · 01-30-2008, 04:40 PM

Great recipe Cleo!! I use 1/2 pork rinds and 1/2 powdered Parmesan cheese for my breading on everything.
One time frying fish I had a bunch of left over egg wash and breading mix, I mixed them together and dropped spoonfuls into the deep fryer.... instant l/c hush puppies

Since then I always make extra egg wash and breading but add some chopped onions to make the hush puppies just right

Keep on giving us recipes Cleo

Tom

Tecnokitty · 01-30-2008, 05:03 PM

Oh boy, I am gonna have to give those hush puppies a try Tom! Thanks

cleochatra · 01-30-2008, 06:15 PM

You guys are so sweet. Sorry I haven't been posting. I'm a bit under the weather. I would have eaten it, but it tasted like beans.

Mallory · 01-31-2008, 06:36 PM

Just yesterday I coated pork chops in a small amount of Three Cheese Ranch dressing and then pressed them into crushed pork rinds..then fried them in a bit of oil..VERY GOOD!
Also, Linda Sue has a recipe for waffles made from pork rinds that she was very skeptical of and I was too, but I tried them and you really cannot tell that these waffles were made out of rinds. Its something about the crumbs tasting different than the whole pieces..

Now keeping in mind, I bought some when I was in the states and they seemed much stronger tasting than the ones I get here in Canada..and I really prefer the milder tasting one. These are great for breading, adding to meatloafs and coating just about anything..
I was shopping today and buying 8 bags and Im sure people in the store were wondering about me..but who cares!

Kamicryze · 02-01-2008, 06:49 AM

I'm trying the pork chops tonight mallory! Great idea!

I did the chicken breast "strips" last night. Hubby hates pork rinds and said none for him, thanks. He made me aware of his digust for pork rinds not only by verbally saying so, but by picking up the bag.. smelling it.. then make dry heaving noises. So I made him a ground beef medley. When the chicken was done, he said they looked good, so he tried one.

He ate half my chicken and I ate half his ground beef. A HUGE hit! And he said what we've all said... it doesn't taste like pork rinds at all!

(I also added some parmesan cheese from a can and a little black pepper to the rinds.)

I'm making these for the superbowl and I do not have Mrs. Dash seasoning either. Did you try this PalmTreeGal? Anyone else have an answer? Maybe Miss Cleo?

Use whatever your favorite spices are-garlic, onion powder, chili powder, italian seasoning etc. Use your imagination!

kathy76 · 02-04-2008, 07:08 AM

I cut some chicken breast in 3 strips each dipped in egg wash and then pressed them into a mix of about 2/3 pork rinds and 1/3 parmesan cheese with a sprinkle of the Mrs. Dash garlic and herb

The whole family liked them my dd 11 told me to make more next time

I have made the same thing in the past with all parmesan and everyone liked the pork rind/parmesan better.

NoSugarGrams · 02-04-2008, 04:01 PM

OK, You sure are convincing!!

Are you sure these don't taste like pork rinds!
Do you promise??

Erica L. Butler · 02-04-2008, 11:02 PM

I love 'em , too! I just had a snack; pork rinds and lox and cream cheese dip spread. YUM!
