Let’s do both in the air fryer so you can have a mixed platter:
1. Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
_Makes 15-18 nuggets | 20 mins_
Ingredients:
- 1 cup boneless chicken breast, minced or finely chopped
- 2 tbsp bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika + salt + Black pepper
- 1 tbsp yogurt or mayo for tenderness
- Coating: flour, 1 egg beaten, 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
Steps:
1. Mix chicken + bread crumbs + seasonings + yogurt. Chill 10 mins.
2. Shape into nuggets.
3. Coat: flour → egg → bread crumbs. Press to stick.
4. Air fry 400°F / 200°C for 10-12 mins. Flip at 6 mins. Spray oil before cooking.
2. Air Fryer Potato Nuggets:
_Makes 15-18 nuggets | 25 mins_
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled + mashed
- 2 tbsp corn flour
- 2 tbsp bread crumbs
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes + salt + black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro + cheese optional
- Coating: flour, 1 egg beaten, 3/4 cup bread crumbs
_Steps:
1. Mix mashed potato + corn flour + bread crumbs + seasonings. If too soft, add more bread crumbs.
2. Shape into nuggets. Chill 15 mins so they don’t break.
3. Coat same way: flour → egg → bread crumbs.
4. Air fry 400°F / 200°C for 12-14 mins. Flip halfway. Spray oil. Extra crispy!
Serve both together with ketchup, garlic mayo, or mint chutney or with Thai chilli sauce.
