Recipe Summary Crispy Keto Fried Chicken In The Air Fryer

This keto-friendly fried chicken is so tasty you may not even realize it's not the real deal. Cooking it in an air-fryer also speeds up the cooking time. This recipe is for boneless chicken. Bone-in chicken pieces will result in a longer cook time. I use a microplane to grate my Parmesan. Serve with your favorite sides.

Ingredients | Crispy Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets

½ cup whole-milk plain kefir (such as Lifeway®)

1 tablespoon hot sauce

1 ½ pounds chicken tenders

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

¾ teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®) or Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika

Directions

Combine kefir and hot sauce in a shallow bowl. Add chicken tenders and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or longer if preferred.

Pour crushed pork rinds into a resealable shallow container. Mix in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cantanzaro herbs, and paprika.
