- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Introduction Crispy Chicken Nibbles From An Air Fryer:1.
- Set up the breading station: Combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Put the panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
- Prepare the chicken by lightly coating each piece with the flour mixture, then completely covering it with the eggs, and then pressing it gently to attach to the panko breadcrumbs. The breaded chicken should be put on a tray or platter.
- Turn the air fryer on to 400°F (200°C) to preheat it. Apply frying spray or brush with oil to the air fryer basket.
- Cook the chicken: Line the air fryer basket with a single layer of the breaded chicken pieces. Cook, shaking the basket halfway through, for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 420°F (220°C) in order to crisp the chicken. Cook until the chicken is crispy and golden brown, about 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Serve: Take the air-fried chicken out and serve it hot with your preferred dipping sauce.
Advice and Modifications:
- Before cooking, place the breaded chicken in the fridge for half an hour to get a crispy coating.
- Add chopped jalapeños or more cayenne pepper to the breading mixture to produce spicy chicken bits.
- Try adding additional ingredients to the breading mixture, including grated Parmesan cheese, dried herbs (like rosemary and thyme), or lemon zest.
- Serve the chicken bits with a range of dipping sauces, including homemade yogurt sauce, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.
