Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut the raw chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel.
-
Prepare an egg wash by beating 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a shallow dish.
-
In a separate shallow dish, combine the flour, non-fat milk powder, powdered sugar, paprika, granulated garlic, ground black pepper, MSG (or 1 teaspoon kosher salt if omitting MSG), and salt to create the flour mixture. Whisk to combine.
-
Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
-
Transfer the coated chicken pieces to the flour mixture and coat them evenly.
-
Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You will likely need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
-
Spray the chicken with avocado oil spray.
-
Air fry at 350°F for 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be golden and cooked through—165F internal temperature.
-
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, protein-packed chicken chunks in a salad with my Healthy Ranch Dressing, wrap, or with my Air Fryer Potato Wedges.
