Ingredients for Chicken Nuggets:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup pork rinds, crushed
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• Cooking oil for frying (avocado oil, coconut oil, or ghee)

Ingredients for Lemon Glaze:

• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener of choice (such as Swerve or monk fruit sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with coconut aminos, almond flour, coconut flour, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is well coated.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
4. In a third bowl, mix together the crushed pork rinds and sesame seeds.
5. Dip each chicken piece in the beaten eggs, then coat it in the pork rind mixture. Repeat for all chicken pieces.
6. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add the chicken nuggets to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
8. Once the chicken is browned on both sides, transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake the chicken nuggets in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until cooked through.
10. While the chicken nuggets are baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, sweetener, coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble.
11. If you want a thicker glaze, you can add 1 teaspoon of arrowroot powder or xanthan gum and whisk until it thickens.
12. Once the chicken nuggets are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
13. Serve hot and enjoy!

Note: You can also sprinkle some chopped green onions or cilantro on top for added flavor and color.
