Ingredients

400 g 14 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
100 g 3.5 oz pork rinds, crushed into crumbs
50 g 1.76 oz grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: garlic powder onion powder

Instructions

Preparing the Coating: In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, and any optional seasonings of your choice. Mix well to combine.
Coating the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste. Dip each piece of chicken into the coating mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to all sides of the chicken.
Preheating the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F) for about 5 minutes.
Air Frying: Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully place the coated chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Cooking: Air fry the chicken nuggets for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Serving: Once cooked to perfection, remove the chicken nuggets from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve hot as a delicious and carnivore-friendly snack or meal option.
