Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb of chicken breast, cut into pieces
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: BBQ or hot sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Start by cutting your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Marinate: (Optional) For extra flavor, marinate the chicken pieces in your favorite sauce or seasoning mix for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat: Heat your air fryer to 375°F. This ensures the chicken starts cooking at the right temperature for that crispy texture.
- Coat the Chicken: Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then roll in breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd; air flow is key for crispiness. Cook in batches if needed.
- Cook: Air fry for about 10-12 minutes. Halfway through, flip the bites to ensure even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- Check Doneness: Ensure they’re cooked through. Internal temp should hit 165°F.
- Serve: Enjoy hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
For the best texture, don’t skip flipping halfway through. This little step makes a big difference in achieving that even, golden crust we all love.
