Ultimate Air Fryer Keto Fried Chicken Recipe: Crispy, Flavorful, and Delicious!
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    27 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of creamy whole-milk kefir
  • A generous tablespoon of zesty hot sauce
  • 1 and a half pounds of tender chicken strips
  • Two packages (3.25 ounces each) of crushed pork rinds
  • 3 ounces of finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • A dash of 1 and a half teaspoons of garlic powder
  • A sprinkle of 3/4 teaspoon of flavorful herbs like Cantanzaro or Italian seasoning
  • Just a hint of 1/2 teaspoon of sweet smoked paprika

Step 1

Mix together kefir and zesty hot sauce in a wide dish, allowing the flavors to mingle and dance together. Gently place the chicken tenders in the mixture, letting them soak up the goodness for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you fancy a deeper infusion of flavor.

Step 2

Next, take a resealable container and add a generous helping of crushed pork rinds. Sprinkle in some Parmesan cheese, a touch of garlic powder, fragrant cantanzaro herbs, and a dash of vibrant paprika. Stir everything together until it forms a delightful, crunchy coating for the chicken.

Step 3

While you're preparing the coating, preheat your air fryer to a toasty 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), taking in the anticipation of the delicious meal to come.

Step 4

Retrieve the marinated chicken from the kefir bath and gently coat each piece with the flavorful pork rind mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered with the crunchy goodness.

Step 5

Carefully place the coated chicken in the preheated air fryer and let them sizzle and crisp up for a total of 17 minutes, remembering to flip them halfway through the cooking process for that perfect golden finish. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful result of your culinary efforts!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. First things first, make sure to properly clean and dry your air fryer before starting your cooking adventure. A clean appliance is a happy appliance!
  2. 2. To ensure that your keto fried chicken turns out crispy and delicious, it's important to use a wire rack in the air fryer basket. This allows for proper air circulation and helps the chicken cook evenly.
