Making Keto Chicken Nuggets: A Recipe
Create the breading first. Crush up some pork rinds, add some parmesan cheese, and all the required ingredients to do this. Make sure all of your dry ingredients are combined during mixing.
*As an alternative, you can put the pig rinds in a food processor, which will do all the work for you.
Once you’ve prepared your breading mixture, scramble an egg to make an egg wash. This will make it easier for the breading to adhere to the chicken dice.
Simply dunk each piece of chicken in the egg wash, sprinkle it with bread crumbs, making sure it has a thick layer on top, and throw it in the air fryer. Coat all of the chicken and place in the fryer, you need to continue doing this . If you need to cook more chicken than your air fryer can handle, you might need to do this process in batches.
