Description
Crispy, juicy chicken bites coated with tangy ranch seasoning and Parmesan, cooked to perfection in the air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix panko, ranch seasoning, and Parmesan.
- Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mix.
- Arrange the coated bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving small gaps between pieces.
- Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Remove and rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use boneless, skinless thighs for juicier meat. Swap panko for crushed cornflakes or gluten-free panko to keep it gluten-free.
