Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
These Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets are as delicious as they are nostalgic. The same taste you loved as a kid, made healthier!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar free ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Egg Coating
- 1 large egg whisked
Breading
- 1 cup Panko
- 1 Tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1/2 Tsp pepper
- 1/2 Tsp onion powder
- 1/2 Tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Combine breading ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Beat egg in a small bowl and set aside.
- Combine all chicken mixture ingredients in a bowl and mix (use your hands!) until fully incorporated and smooth. Form into 24 nuggets by making them into little balls (roughly 1 tbsp each) and then flattening them out a bit to get that classic nugget shape.
- Dunk each nugget in the egg mixture, then in the breading, and place on a well sprayed air fryer tray or basket.
- Spray well with cooking spray and air fry at 375 for 10-12 minutes, until fully cooked and an internal thermometer reads 165F+.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat in the air fryer (350F for 4-5 minutes).
