Air-fryer chicken nuggets
Make these chicken nuggets as a snack or side dish, best served with ketchup. Instead of baking, they're cooked in an energy-efficient air-fryer
Ingredient
- 50g plain flour
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1-2 eggs, beaten
- 120g panko breadcrumbs
- 3 chicken breasts (about 600g), cut into bite-size pieces
- ketchup, to serve
Ingredients
Direction
- STEP 1
Combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, ½-1 tsp salt and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper on a plate. Tip the beaten egg onto another plate and the breadcrumbs onto a third.
- STEP 2
Toss the chicken pieces in the flour mix, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a tray. Heat the air-fryer to 200C, then cook the chicken nuggets in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) for 10-12 mins until cooked through and golden brown. Serve with ketchup, if you like.
