Description

Crispy and juicy ranch-flavored chicken bites made easy in the air fryer. A crowd-pleaser for any occasion!


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

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  2. In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.
  4. Coat the egg-dipped chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for optimal air circulation. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken well for maximum crunch.
