1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Coat the egg-dipped chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating.
- Arrange the coated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Spicy Version: Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a little extra heat.
Gluten-Free: Swap the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
Herb Infusion: Mix in fresh or dried herbs like thyme, oregano, or parsley into the breadcrumb mixture to enhance the flavor.
Baking Alternative: If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the chicken bites at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
