low carb substitute for shake 'n bake that I have found. Don't freak out over the pork rinds...you honestly can't tell.
Delish Substitute for Shake 'n Bake
One bag plain Pork Rinds crushed
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Crush pork rinds well (using a food processor or just crush in a plastic bag with a
rolling pin)
- Dampen meat and blot with paper towel.
- Mix spices with crushed Pork Rinds.
- Toss meat with mixture in small batches. ( I just put it in a baggie and shook it like regular shake 'n bake)
- Place on foiled cookie sheet and bake for 45-50 min.
I don't remember where I got this recipe but even my teenage daughters friends wanted the recipe when I coated chicken with this.
I read somewhere that Shake and Bake is 33% sugar! That says nothing of the carbs from the bread crumbs. Though I suspect that corn flakes and captain crunch aren't much better, so it's six of one a half dozen of the other.

that almond flour can be substituted in this recipe for the pork rinds. I haven't tried that, but I have made almond flour by toasting almonds and using a coffee grinder or food processor to grind it really fine and it was good on other things. If you want a sweeter taste, I imagine you could add sugar twin or splenda to the mix. I love shake 'n bake too....that is why I was determined to find something similar. You might give the almonds a try and see what you get. I have used ground pecans also for a coating for several things. My thought is that if you substitute the ground nuts you would probably have to coat the chicken or other meat in beaten eggs or something to help it stick before rolling in the nut flour.
This is the best 
no real pork rinds...
