Crispy Keto Chicken Nuggets 🍗
INGREDIENTS :
🐷 1 cup finely crushed pork rinds
🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt (reduce if your pork rinds are already seasoned)
🌶️ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
⚫️ Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
🥚 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
🐔 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch bite-sized chunks
INSTRUCTIONS :
1. **Prepare Your Coating:** In a shallow bowl, combine the finely crushed pork rinds with kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous dash of black pepper. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed.
2. **Egg Wash:** In a separate shallow bowl, lightly beat the two large eggs until well combined.
3. **Coat the Chicken:** Add your chicken chunks to the beaten eggs, stirring gently to ensure each piece is completely coated.
4. **Bread the Nuggets:** Working in small batches, transfer the egg-coated chicken pieces into the seasoned pork rind mixture. Toss them around until each nugget is fully covered. Place the breaded nuggets on a clean plate.
5. **Cook to Crispy Perfection (Oven or Air Fryer):**
* **Air Fryer Method (Quick & Crispy):** Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the nuggets in a single layer in the basket (you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding). Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through.
* **Oven Baked Method:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the nuggets on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are deliciously crispy and fully cooked.
