Share:
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into roughly 1 1/2 inch strips
- 4 tbsp flour
- salt to taste
- 1 egg
- cracked black pepper to taste
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- cooking spray see note
- sweet & sour sauce or Asian sweet chili sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour and a generous amount of salt in a small bowl. Whisk together the egg with more salt, pepper and the cayenne in another bowl. In a third bowl, toss together the panko breadcrumbs and the coconut.
- Season the strips of chicken well with salt and toss first with the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Spritz the base of the air fryer with cooking spray, as well as the tops of the chicken strips. Place them oiled side up in the air fryer basket, working in batches to keep space for the air to move around the chicken strips as needed. Air fry for 15 minutes at 390 F, turning halfway through.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Try to use an olive oil spray if possible as some cooking sprays can damage the lining of your air fryer basket. Be sure to check the instructions of your model before using any cooking spray that is not pure oil in your air fryer.
- This recipe is easily doubled for larger air fryers.
- In Europe or elsewhere, choose unsweetened desiccated coconut for this recipe.
- To avoid breading your fingers (!) use one hand for dipping the chicken strips into the flour and breadcrumbs and the other hand for the egg mixture.
