Instructions

Chicken Fritters: To large mixing bowl, add ground chicken, eggs, pork rinds, mayonnaise, mozzarella, cheddar, and spices and mix until well-combined (an electric or stand mixer works well for this).

Cook fritters for 4 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for 3-4 minutes on opposite side. Transfer cooked fritters to paper towel-lined plate and allow to cool.
Spicy Lemon Aioli: Add all ingredients to small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Serve atop fritters or as a side dipping sauce and add optional garnishes as desired.
