These Boneless Chicken Wings are made with chicken tenders coated in pork rinds and cooked in the air fryer until crisp and golden. They work just as well for an easy weeknight dinner as they do for game day when you want something crunchy without the carbs.
I like recipes like this when I want big flavor without a lot of prep, and this one reminds me of the simple chicken dinners I've leaned on over the years. If you enjoy low carb air fryer recipes, this fits right in with those go-to favorites.

Why You'll Love These Boneless Chicken Wings
Crispy coating: pork rinds give you a crunchy bite without breading or flour.
Easy prep: a quick egg dip and coating is all it takes before they hit the air fryer.
Low carb: these boneless chicken wings come in at about 1 net carb per serving, depending on the pork rinds you use.
Key Ingredients for Low Carb Chicken Wings
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
- Chicken tenders: naturally boneless and the perfect size for wing-style bites.
- Pork rinds: create a crunchy coating that keeps this recipe keto friendly.
- Egg: helps the pork rinds stick evenly to the chicken.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Chicken breast cut into strips can be used instead of tenders.
- Plain or flavored pork rinds both work, just check carb counts on flavored varieties.
- An egg wash can be swapped with a light brush of mayonnaise.
Variations on Boneless Chicken Wings with Pork Rinds
- Toss the cooked chicken in buffalo-style sauce for a classic wing flavor.
- Add grated parmesan to the pork rind coating for a richer finish.
- Mix your own seasoning blend with garlic powder, paprika, or use this homemade taco seasoning combined with the pork rinds before coating.
Tips for Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
- Crush the pork rinds very fine so the coating sticks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer rack or the chicken won't crisp properly.
- Flip halfway through cooking to keep the coating crunchy on all sides.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover boneless chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for a few minutes until warmed through and crisp again.
Serving Suggestions for Boneless Chicken Wings
Serve these boneless chicken wings with Spicy Ranchero Sauce, Ranch Dressing, or Chipotle Dressing for dipping. They pair well with a simple salad or roasted vegetables like my Keto Roasted Radishes or Air Fryer Asparagus for dinner and shine on a platter for game day spreads.
