How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

  1. Step 1

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

  2. Step 2

    Cut chicken into 1½-inch pieces. In a bowl combine flour, paprika, pepper and salt. Roll chicken pieces in the flour mixture to cover on all sides, shaking off excess flour. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl lightly beat egg whites and buttermilk. In another bowl, place the cornflakes. Dip each chicken piece into egg mixture then coat with cornflakes, covering completely.

  4. Step 4

    Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Place in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes or until crispy and golden, flipping over halfway through. Serve immediately.
