The Bon Appétit test kitchen takes birthdays seriously, celebrating with personalized treats. For colleague Jesse Szewczyk's savory birthday request, chicken tenders were breaded with crushed pork rinds, creating a unique flavor experience. Unlike traditional breadcrumbs, chicharrones provide deep flavor and an airy crunch. The article discusses various serving suggestions, emphasizing flexibility in flavor customization with chicharron. Ultimately, this dish transforms a classic into a high-protein delight, proving that creative cooking can deliver exceptional and satisfying birthday celebrations.
For my colleague Jesse Szewczyk's big day, he wrote, "no baked goods...anything super savory." And we knew just the thing.
If replacing breadcrumbs with crushed chicharrones sounds outrageous, well, sure. But it’s one of those things you have to try to believe.
Salted but unflavored chicharron are your best bet here, allowing you to customize the flavors yourself.
