Method

6 steps. Read it through before you start.

  1. 01
    Get set

    Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw chicken.

  2. 02
    Marinate

    Toss the bites with the marinade and rest for 15 minutes.

  3. 03
    Coat

    Dust in flour, dip in egg, and roll in the crushed crumbs.

  4. 04
    Air fry

    Spray well. Air fry at 190 °C in a single layer for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking halfway. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer.

  5. 05
    Rest

    Rest for 2 minutes so the crust sets.

  6. 06
    Serve

    Serve hot with a dip.
