Healthy Air Fried Chicken Breast Nuggets without breadcrumbs

Description

Air fried chicken pieces that doesn't require breadcrumbs

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or avocado oil)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon corn starch

This is an easy and healthy air fried chicken nugget recipe that does not require breadcrumbs. The oil helps the chicken pieces become crunchier, but you can reduce the amount of oil or not use any oil at all. You can also use chicken thighs instead if you prefer a more juicy piece of meat.

Instructions

Coat the chicken breasts in 1/2 tablespoon of oil
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Coat the chicken in a thin layer of the dry ingredients.
Place in an air fryer and cook for 8 minutes at 200°C (~400°F).
This step is optional. Drizzle the chicken in 1 tablespoon of oil and mix well.
Continue cooking for another 8 minutes at 200°C (~400°F). Total cooking time is 16 minutes at 200°C (~400°F), but this may depend on the size of the chicken. Adjust accordingly and check on the chicken every now and then.
