Preheat air fryer to 400°.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned chicken, egg, mozzarella cheese, almond flour, onion powder, paprika and garlic powder until well incorporated.
Alternately, and recommended, put all in a food processor in the order listed and process until combined.
Scoop out in 2 tbsp amounts, pat into a nugget shape.
Dip each chicken nugget into the crushed pork rinds, coating all sides, lightly pressing the crumbs into the nugget.
Place the nugget on a cookie sheet, or air fryer basket lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Spritz a light coating of cooking spray on top of the nuggets.
Air fry at 400 for 7 minutes, flip, and air fry 7-8 minutes more, until crispy.
Store leftovers in the freezer up to 2 months, or fridge for 5 days.
Reheat in oven or airfryer for 7 minutes.

Notes

Find my favorite almond flour here! My favorite pork rinds to use in this recipe are here! Need an Airfryer? This is the one I have! ……. You can alternately bake these chicken nuggets in the oven at 425F. Prepare the recipe as directed but place them on parchment or aluminum foil lined wire racks. This helps prevent the nugget from seeping down through the wires before it is fully cooked. Bake them at 425F for 14 minutes then flip and return to the oven for 7 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before eating for best texture. …….. These nutrition facts are for a batch of approximately 9 nuggets with 3 nuggets per serving. I used plain pork rinds and plain canned chicken.
