Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 pieces eggs Beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (Panko for extra crispiness)
Seasonings
  • to taste seasonings of your choice (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper) Customize according to preference
  • to taste grated parmesan cheese Optional for added savory kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to the recommended temperature for optimal crispiness.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for seasoned breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip it in the egg wash, and coat it generously with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the breaded chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for proper circulation.
  2. Cook the chicken in the air fryer until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  3. Enjoy the irresistible aroma and golden hue of your crispy air fryer chicken bites!

Notes

Cut the chicken into uniform sizes for even cooking. Make sure to season your breadcrumbs well for added flavor. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for optimal crispiness. Consider adding grated parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs for an extra savory touch.
