Keto Chicken Nuggets Ingredients
– Chicken: Chicken breasts are perfect for making nuggets.
– Almond flour: To make these low-carb and keto-friendly almond or coconut flour is a must. You can find almond flour in any grocery store or online.
– Paprika: A must! Paprika adds so much great flavor and gives the chicken nuggets a nice orange color.
– Garlic powder: Adds lots of great flavors. I love how it really brings out the flavors of these keto nuggets.
– Onion powder: It’s a good way to add flavor without having to chop or crush fresh onions.
– Parmesan: Adds nuttiness and tanginess to the keto chicken nuggets.
– Oregano: You don’t have to use fresh oregano, just use what you have. You can substitute with Italian herbs.
– Egg: Large eggs, at room temperature. They help bind all the ingredients together.
– Freshly Ground Salt & Pepper: To taste. I like to use sea salt and also ground the pepper fresh.

Now, you can have low-carb fried chicken nuggets anytime you want without worrying about eating too many carbs.
I have made these low carb chicken nuggets in the air fryer and they come out so crispy and delicious every single time.
Also, I have found that cooking them in the oven on the lower rack can help with crisping up more if you feel they are not crispy enough.
Now let’s get started making these easy keto nuggets!
