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
- 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
Step 1
Combine kefir and hot sauce in a shallow bowl. Add chicken tenders and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or longer if preferred.
Step 2
Pour crushed pork rinds into a resealable shallow container. Mix in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cantanzaro herbs, and paprika.
Step 3
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Drain chicken from kefir mixture and dredge through the pork rind mixture.
Step 5
Air fry in the preheated fryer for a total of 17 minutes, turning chicken at the halfway point.
