Air Fryer Chicken

Air fryers are one of the best ways to cook chicken quickly without packing it with unhealthy oils. It also requires very little work, so it really is a great option. Air fryers are one of my personal favorite kitchen items because you can make so many awesome recipes. Along with this southern fried chicken, you can also make things like veggie fries, fruit chips, and even fried fish!

Then, dip the chicken thighs piece by piece in the batter. Then, all you have to do is pop the chicken in the air fryer for 20 minutes, and voila! You’ve got delicious southern fried chicken that suits your keto diet.
