How to Reheat Those Leftovers Keto Crunchy Popcorn Chicken?

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer and heat them for 4-5 minutes or until crispy again.

Quick Note – The chicken won’t be that flavorful when reheating for the 3rd time because the chicken will dry out too much.

Best Dipping Sauce For These Keto Fried Popcorn Chicken

I tried this recipe with ketchup, ranch, tartar sauce, or teriyaki sauce. However, my all-time favorite sauce is this sugar-free ketchup and sugar free BBQ sauce. You can also serve this with marinara sauce or mayo.

Ingredients Substitute

Pork Rinds – This is what I am using in this recipe and I highly recommend it to make those popcorns more crispy and it a great low carb option.

Almond Flour – I am using almond flour but you can use coconut flour or whey protein isolate to bind the seasoning and spices.
