My Hip sidekick Jenna gave this recipe a try and here’s what she thought:

“This recipe is so tasty, I almost forgot it was keto! I love how easy it is to make in the air fryer and the crust is so nice and crispy. The slight sweetness was really a home run and the homemade cocktail sauce was perfect for dipping!”

    Does the recipe yield 2 servings or 12? The begging says 12 and the end says 2

    Is there a good substitute for pork rinds? I am not a fan and no one in my family likes them. Or can I just omit the pork rinds?

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      You could try almond meal or try a freshly grated parmesan!
