Keto Air Fryer Skinny Popcorn Chicken
How to Make It
Step 1
Turn on an air fryer and preheat it to 350 degrees for 5 minutes. While the air fryer is preheating, cut the chicken breast into 1-bite, “popcorn”-sized pieces – about 8 pieces for 1 serving. Trim away any excess fat before you weigh out your chicken. If it’s available to you, you may wish to use chicken breast that has already been cut into tenders, as this helps ensure your popcorn chicken pieces are even in size.
Step 2
Add the pieces of chicken breast to a small mixing bowl, and drizzle the olive oil in. Quickly toss the chicken with olive oil. Then, toss the chicken a second time with all the seasonings listed until the chicken is completely coated. Line your air fryer tray with parchment paper, if necessary, and arrange the seasoned popcorn chicken on it.
Step 3
Cook the tray of popcorn chicken in the air fryer for 10 minutes. Then, flip or rotate the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes. To test for doneness, the outside of the chicken should have a crispy outside with golden-brown edges all around. You can cook for longer if necessary. Serve hot with your preferred Keto dipping sauce.
