Keto Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

True story: When I moved here 30 + years ago, I had never even heard of Chick-fil-a! And the first time a saw the sign, the ol' dyslexia kicked it, and I read it "Chick-A-Fil". I still call it that sometimes, but like a true Texas, I love it no matter what it's called! Here's my Keto rendition using an air-fryer!
