Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F / 200°C for 3 minutes.
  2. Toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  4. Air fry at 400°F / 200°C for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C.
  5. Rest for 2 minutes before serving to keep the coating crisp and allow juices to redistribute.
