Recipe Summary Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Why have frozen chicken nuggets when you can have them fresh and homemade? They come out perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, thanks to the air fryer.

Ingredients | Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Air Fryer Recipe Breaded

1 cup buttermilk

2 pounds chicken tenderloins, cut into nugget size

1 cup flour

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon parsley flakes

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 eggs

2 cups panko bread crumbs

cooking spray

Directions

Mix buttermilk and chicken in a large bowl and let soak while you prepare the seasoned flour.

Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs onto a flat plate.

Dredge each chicken nugget first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with cooking spray. Place as many nuggets into the basket as you can without overcrowding. Lightly mist the tops of the nuggets with cooking spray.

Cook for 10 minutes. Flip chicken nuggets and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and repeat with remaining nuggets.
