Why recepie famous for?

This keto-friendly fried chicken is so tasty you may not even realize it's not the real deal. Cooking it in an air-fryer also speeds up the cooking time. This recipe is for boneless chicken. Bone-in chicken pieces will result in a longer cook time. I use a microplane to grate my Parmesan. Serve with your favorite sides.

½ cup whole-milk plain kefir (such as Lifeway(®))

1 tablespoon hot sauce

1 ½ pounds chicken tenders

2 (3.25 ounce) packages pork rinds, crushed

3 ounces finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

¾ teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop(®)) or Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
