Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken breast, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 70 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 piece egg, beaten
  • 30 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast into 3 cm nugget-sized pieces and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  2. Set out three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and panko stirred with the olive oil. Coat each piece in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing so the crumbs stick.
  3. Arrange the nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between them, cooking in two batches if needed.
  4. Cook at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce.
