Ingredients
- 4 Skinless Chicken Breasts (cut into bite-size chunks)
- 75 g Plain Flour
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 175 g Panko Breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
Method
- Spray the air fryer basket with a cooking oil spray then preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the flour on a wide plate, the beaten egg in a bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with the salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in another large bowl or plate
- Bread the chicken pieces by coating them first in flour (shaking off excess), turning in the egg (use a spoon to keep your hands clean), and finally rolling in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Place the chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket, in a single layer (you may need to air fry in two batches, depending on the size of your fryer). Air fry at 200C (400F) for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and the internal temperature has reached 75C (165°F). Use a meat thermometer to check.
- Use tongs to place the nuggets on a wire rack if not serving immediately.
