Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Press lightly to ensure they adhere well.
Air Fryer Cooking 🌬️
Preheat the Air Fryer to 190°C for 3 minutes.
Arrange the nuggets in the basket without overlapping them. Lightly spray with oil if desired.
Cook for 12 to 15 minutes at 190°C, turning them halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy.
Serving 🍽️
Serve hot with ketchup, barbecue, or a homemade yogurt and herb sauce.
✅ Tip for making this recipe easier:
Prepare the nuggets in advance and freeze them raw, already breaded. Air fry them directly from the freezer (+2 to 3 minutes cooking time).
🔁 Ingredient swap:
Replace the chicken with marinated firm tofu for a crispy vegetarian version.
🔥 Cooking tip:
Never overload the basket: let the air circulate for optimal crispiness.
