Ingredients
  • 1 Pound chicken breast, raw (454g- Cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1/3 Cup all purpose flour (40g)
  • 2 Tbsp on-fat milk powder (11g)
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar (8g)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp MSG (*see notes)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (50g)
  • 1 Tbsp water (15g)
  • 4 Sprays avocado oil (8g)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Cut the raw chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. 2
    Prepare an egg wash by beating 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a shallow dish.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. 5
    Transfer the coated chicken pieces to the flour mixture and coat them evenly.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    Spray the chicken with avocado oil spray.
  8. 8
    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.
