00:00Air Fryer Chicken Bites
00:01These air fryer chicken bites deliver a crispy, restaurant-quality crunch without the guilt of deep frying.
00:09Coated in golden panko and seasoned with smoky paprika and garlic powder,
00:13they're juicy inside and irresistibly crispy outside.
00:17Perfect for both kids and adults.
00:19Quick, simple, and guaranteed to disappear fast.
00:22For the chicken, you'll need one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into two-inch pieces.
00:28Prepare the coating with one quarter cup of whole wheat flour, two large eggs,
00:33one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of smoked paprika,
00:36one half teaspoon of garlic powder, and one quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper.
00:42For the crispy coating, use one and a half cups of panko crumbs and nonstick cooking spray.
00:48Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet.
00:53Spread panko crumbs evenly and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
00:57Bake for five minutes, stirring to avoid burning, then cool completely before using,
01:03preventing the crumbs from prematurely cooking the egg wash.
01:06Combine flour and chicken in a Ziploc bag, seal, shake to coat, then whisk eggs in a bowl.
01:13Mix the toasted panko crumbs, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
01:18Working with one piece at a time, dip the floured chicken pieces in the egg wash,
01:23letting excess drip to avoid sogginess.
01:25Press seasoned panko onto each piece firmly.
01:28Place half of the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket,
01:33ensuring pieces don't touch for optimal air circulation and even cooking.
01:37Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes, then flip using tongs.
01:41Cook for five to six more minutes until internal temp hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
01:47Repeat for the second faster cooking batch.
