Back in the days when I still drank, one of my go-to drunk foods was chicken nuggets. There's just something about them. Am I really no longer able to enjoy them because I want to eat healthy now? I didn't think so. After all, it's mainly protein. It must be easy to cut out all the carbs. And it is! It looks impressive and sounds impressive when you show your friends that you have made your own chicken nuggets. But it's actually so simple and can be done in such a short amount of time.

Simple Keto Chicken Nuggets Recipe–Notes
This helps the chicken breast paste become stickier and helps the chicken nuggets hold their shape. This makes your life way easier when you are breading them. Alternatively, you can use oat fiber.
Make sure it's not dripping wet and is just lightly coated.
Spraying oil both on the air-fryer and on top of the chicken nuggets is important, otherwise, the outside of the nuggets would not properly turn gold.
