How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

STEP 1.In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place coated nuggets on a plate and let them sit for 5 minutes to set the crust.

STEP 1.Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil for an extra golden finish. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.

STEP 2.Let the nuggets cool for a minute before serving. Pair with ketchup, honey mustard, or homemade ranch. Enjoy with fries, a salad, or veggie sticks for a complete meal.
