# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Chicken Nugget Fixings
01 -
450 grams chicken breast, no bones or skin, cut into small bites
02 -
120 grams regular flour
03 -
2 big eggs
04 -
100 grams panko crumbs
05 -
1 teaspoon paprika
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
Salt and black pepper, adjust as you like
09 -
Oil spray or a spritz of olive oil
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, some salt, and pepper. Make sure the coating's even everywhere.
02 -
Line up three shallow dishes—one for flour, one for eggs (give them a quick whisk), and one for panko crumbs. First, toss the chicken in the flour, dip in egg next, then roll them through the panko so every bit's covered.
03 -
Warm up your air fryer to 200°C. Give the basket a spray with oil, then lay out your coated nuggets in a flat layer—not stacked. Cook for around 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them halfway so they get crunchy on all sides. They're done once they're golden and cooked through.
04 -
Once they’re cooked, pull them out and let them cool just a bit. Serve while they’re still warm, and grab your favorite dipping sauce.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Chop the chicken into roughly the same-sized chunks so it all cooks at the same pace.
02 -
Try not to pack your air fryer basket too full or you’ll miss out on that crispy coating.
03 -
Double-check the chicken’s hit at least 75°C inside before you eat.
