You may think it is crazy to make your own homemade chicken nuggets, but since I have begun really paying attention to ingredients I have seen how even the simplest of foods are choc-full of chemicals.

I decided to make these Keto Friendly Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets and had to fight off the family just so that I could get them photographed! They are SO TASTY.

There are a few things to know about this recipe. One is that if you use ground chicken breast, you need to be careful not to cook too long or it will dry out.

If you want to use chicken breasts, I suggest adding a half tablespoon of mayo to the mixture.

I also used Porking Good crushed pork rinds for the breading. You can order them here or you can simply grind up your own pork rinds using a food processor.

The spices I added have just a little bit of heat. If you want to crank it up a notch, my Spicy Chicken Nuggets Recipe has quite a kick.

The Air Fryer cooks these perfectly - keeping the chicken juicy while getting the breading good and crispy.

To reheat, put back into air fryer for 2-3 minutes, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 30 seconds. Let sit for a minute before eating.

These Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets are also perfect to cut up and toss into a big salad. Top with my Keto Ranch Dressing for a macro-perfect meal in less than 20 minutes.
