Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

01Method

1. 1

   Collect all ingredients and set up your workstation.

2. 2

   Submerge the chicken pieces in buttermilk in a large bowl and let them soak while you prepare the remaining components.

3. 3

   Whisk together the flour, Parmesan, paprika, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Spread the panko crumbs out on a flat plate.

4. 4

   Working one piece at a time, coat each chicken nugget in the seasoned flour, dip into the beaten egg, then press into the panko crumbs until fully coated.

5. 5

   Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray. Arrange nuggets in a single layer without crowding, then lightly mist their tops with cooking spray.

6. 6

   Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip each nugget and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat the process with any remaining nuggets.
