Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb. chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- Avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and sweet paprika. Toss until coated.
- Break the egg into a bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs into another bowl.
- Dip the seasoned chicken into the egg wash mixture, then transfer to the panko, moving around until coated in the breadcrumbs.
- Place on a prepared sheet pan, and repeat until all the chicken nuggets are coated.
- Spritz the chicken nuggets with the avocado oil spray. This will help them crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven, and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- How to make chicken nuggets in the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the chicken nuggets in a single layer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Check them with a meat thermometer to make sure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
