Chicken Nuggets with Onion Powder

Serves 2 in about 29 minutes. The pot starts with eggs, then flour.

Ingredients

• 10.5 ounces chicken breasts (2 medium size breasts or 1 large)
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup golden breadcrumbs (or crushed butter crackers)
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• Spray cooking oil

Method

1. Slice the chicken breasts into chicken nugget shapes, this will yield roughly 10 to 12 chicken nuggets.
2. Get three separate small mixing bowls; into the first one place eggs and whisk them. Into the second bowl place the panko breadcrumbs, shredded parmesan cheese and golden breadcrumbs. Into the third mixing bowl place all purpose flour, table salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
3. With tongs, place one chicken piece in the all-purpose flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, then lastly in the breadcrumb mixture. Set onto a plate. Repeat the process until all chicken pieces are coated.
4. Set the chicken dippers in the air fryer tray and spray generously with spray oil.
5. Heat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F. Then cook at 400°F for 13-14 minutes turning over at 7 minutes. Ensure the chicken nuggets reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
6. Once they are ready, take out of the air fryer and serve immediately with the dipping sauces of choice.
