Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
  2. While the air fryer heats, cut the chicken into nuggets (about 1-inch pieces) dry them off, and place them in a bowl. Toss with salt and sesame oil until coated.
  3. Place the coconut flour and ground ginger in a large Ziploc bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken and shake until coated.
  4. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and add in the chicken nuggets, tossing until they are all well coated in the egg.
  5. Place the sesame seeds in a large Ziploc bag. Shake any excess egg off the chicken and add the nuggets into the bag; shake until well coated.
  6. Generously spray the mesh air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the nuggets into the basket, making sure to not crowd them or they won't get crispy. Spray with a touch of cooking spray. 
  7. Cook for 6 minutes. Flip each nugget and spray with cooking spray. Then, cook an additional 5-6 minutes, until no longer pink inside.
  8. While the nuggets cook, whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth.
  9. Serve the nuggets with the dip and enjoy!
