Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 3 Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken Breast
  • ½ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 lg Eggs
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix all purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, crack eggs, whisk roughly and set aside.
  • In the third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs for final coating.
  • Coat the chicken pieces with flour mixture, followed by dipping/coating in the eggs, and then coat in the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Place the prepared chicken pieces in the parchment lined air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray with cooking oil spray.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until chicken turns golden brown. If using a tray style air fryer, use tongs to flip the chicken pieces over. Then spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray, and resume air frying for the remaining 5 minutes. Make the popcorn chicken in 2 or 3 batches.
  • Serve hot with your favorite sauce/dip.
