Keto Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
How to cook keto chicken tenders in air fryer with pork rinds & coconut flour coating.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken tenderloin pieces ~12oz
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 bag EPIC® Pork Rinds of choice crushed (I used Pink Himalayan Salt flavor)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Serving Ideas
- roasted broccoli
- mashed potatoes
- whatever you like!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) to toast pork rinds.
- Add EPIC® Pork Rinds onto a baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake 10 minutes. (This helps them to get crispy!)
- Once toasted, remove pork rinds from oven and allow to cool slightly. Add to food processor with paprika and garlic powder, or any seasonings you like. Pulse to break down larger chunks and then run continuously until a powder forms. Add to a shallow dish and set aside.
- Mix coconut flour, salt and pepper in a separate shallow dish.
- In a third shallow dish, whisk eggs.
- Dredge each chicken tender first in coconut flour mixture, then eggs (shaking to remove any excess), and then pork rind mixture.
- Preheat air-fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Place coated chicken tenders into air fryer basket and add a bit of cooking spray, if desired. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from air fryer using tongs. Serve and enjoy with your favorite sides—roasted broccoli, mashed potatoes, or whatever you like!
