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 | Air Fryer Chicken Recipes No Breading

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

1 tablespoon hot sauce

1 ½ pounds chicken tenders

2 (3.25 ounce) packages pork rinds, crushed

3 ounces finely grated Parmesan cheese

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.

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), about 3 minutes.

Drain chicken from kefir mixture and dredge through the pork rind mixture.

Air fry in the preheated fryer for a total of 17 minutes, turning chicken at the halfway point.
