Keto Air Fryer Spicy Chicken Nuggets
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare approximately 2 chicken tenders per serving by cutting each tender into 3 pieces. The original amount listed in the ingredients should result in 18 pieces. Toss the cut chicken tenders in a large mixing bowl with the seasoned salt. If you cannot find raw chicken tenders in your grocery store, simply slice boneless chicken breast into tenders at home.
Step 2
Prepare all the breading ingredients. On a plate, combine the paleo flour, black pepper, lemon pepper, paprika, and chili powder. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg. On a second plate, arrange ground pork rinds, which you can pulse into a breading in your food processor. For this recipe, you may wish to add extra paleo flour, egg, and pork rinds to have excess breading materials to work with.
Step 3
One by one, roll a chicken nugget in the flour mixture. Then, dip it in the egg. Let any excess egg drip off the nugget before rolling in the spicy pork rind mixture. Arrange every breaded chicken nugget on your air fryer trays lined with parchment paper. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees and bake for 12 minutes. Flip the nuggets over and bake for an additional 8 minutes before serving. 6 chicken nuggets are suggested per serving.
