Equipment
- 1 Tweezers
Ingredients
- 2 Pieces Chicken Breasts
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 Cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 2 Teaspoons Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
Instructions
- Start preparing all the ingredients by washing and cutting the chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Set all the seasonings and coating ingredients aside for easy preparation.
- Beat the egg in a medium-sized bowl and toss the chicken. Coat them evenly with the egg and prepare the dry breading separately. For the dry mixture, combine the breadcrumbs and all the seasonings in one bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Once you have the dry mixture ready, start coating each chicken piece. If you do not want to use your hands, use a tweezer. The image shows that I prepared a chopping board with paper tissue on top for the coated pieces.
- After coating all the chicken pieces, place them in the air fryer in a single layer. Make sure to leave tiny spaces between each piece to cook them evenly. Do the same with the rest of the batch and spray olive oil on the breaded chicken bites.
- Set the internal temperature of the air fryer to 200C or 400F and cook the chicken until golden brown, 8 minutes at most. Cooking time depends on the size of your bites. When it starts looking crunchy and golden brown like this, take them out of the air fryer and serve.
