Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) or preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the canned chicken (make sure it’s drained), shredded cheese, and egg. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out portions of the chicken mixture and flatten them slightly to form nugget shapes.
- If desired, sprinkle bagel seasoning over the tops of the nuggets for extra flavor.
- If using an air fryer, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry the nuggets at 400°F (200°C) for about 14 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- If cooking in the oven, place the nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake at 450°F (230°C) for approximately 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Once the nuggets are golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove them from the air fryer or oven.
- Serve the keto chicken nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a salad for a delicious low-carb meal.
