Chicken Fries in the Air Fryer (69 of 150)

Anything fried. That's my jam. You can take your sweets all you want. I crave carby, fried, goodness. Now, when you're trying to eat healthier, fried food isn't a friend. 

Enter pork rinds and an air fryer and you have crunchy, fried goodness. 

I broke away from this recipe a little. I didn't have any eggs so I improvised. I slathered the chicken nuggets in mayo first then dredged it in pork rinds. Really a nice combo. 

Chicken Fries in the Air Fryer

Recipe from Jennifer Banz

Serves 4

• 1 pound Chicken Breast-cut into thin strips, lengthwise
• 3.5 Ounces Crushed pork rinds
• ¼ tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 2 Large eggs, beaten

Preheat the air fryer to 400F

In a shallow dish, mix the crushed pork rinds with the seasonings. In a separate shallow dish, add in the beaten eggs. Take one of your chicken strips and coat it in the egg, then your pork rind mixture. Set on a plate. Repeat this process with each piece of chicken.

Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray. Place the chicken fries in the air fryer basket and air fry for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. This will probably need to be cooked in 2 batches and the second batch will cook more quickly.
