Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Step 1

Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife cut the chicken breasts into about 20 nuggets.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces and melted butter. Mix to evenly coat and then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

In a second bowl, mix the panko, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 5

Add 3 to 4 nuggets to the bowl with the panko mixture. Pess the nuggets into the coating on all sides until they're evenly covered. Transfer nuggets to a large plate or baking sheet and continue until the nuggets are the remaining chicken pieces.

Step 6

Spray the nuggets on both sides with olive oil spray.

Step 7

Spray or brush the air fryer basket with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 8

Place the nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Cook for 8 minutes, flipping the nuggets halfway through.

Step 10

Serve immediately with barbeque sauce and honey mustard for dipping.
