With two growing boys at home, these Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets are a pretty popular choice for after school snacks or an easy dinner.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 Bread Slice
  • 3 tbsp. Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp. Dried Minced Onion
  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 1 lb. Springer Mountain Farms Ground Chicken
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Crushed Cornflakes
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan
  • 3 tbsp. Melted Butter
  • Fresh Parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat air fryer to 400F.
  2. Add the bread, heavy cream, garlic powder, dried minced onion, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt to a large mixing bowl. Allow to soak for 1 - 2 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed the liquid.
  3. Gently combine the soaked bread with the ground chicken.
  4. Crush the cornflakes and mix together with the parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl and set aside.
  5. Form the chicken into nuggets and coat with the egg first, then the cornflake mixture.
  6. Place the nuggets in the air fryer and brush the top of each one with melted butter. Air fry at 400F for 8 - 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Nuggets are done when internal temp is 165F.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your preferred dipping sauce.
