Crispy Keto Fried Chicken in the Air Fryer

Crispy Keto Fried Chicken in the Air Fryer

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.
