    Homemade chicken nuggets are a real treat, and much healthier than those bought ready-made. With the airfryer, you get crispy nuggets without having to use large quantities of oil. Perfect for a party, an aperitif or a quick meal, they’re as easy to prepare as they are delicious to eat. <\/p>\n \t<\/div>\n\n \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

      Instructions<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
      • Prepare the chicken<\/strong> Cut chicken fillets into uniformly sized pieces (approx. 2-3 cm square) for even cooking.<\/li>
      • Prepare the breadcrumbs<\/strong> In three separate bowls:
        Place the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper in the first bowl.
        Beat the eggs in the second bowl.
        Mix the breadcrumbs, paprika and garlic powder in the third bowl.<\/li>
      • Bread the chicken pieces<\/strong> :
        Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Press lightly so that the breadcrumbs adhere well.<\/li>
      • Airfryer cooking<\/strong> :
        Preheat the airfryer to 180\u00b0C.
        Brush the nuggets lightly with a little olive oil to crisp them up.
        Arrange the nuggets in the airfryer basket in a single layer (avoid overlapping for even cooking).
        Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.<\/li>
      • Serve<\/strong> Once cooked, serve the nuggets immediately with the sauce of your choice (ketchup, barbecue sauce, yoghurt sauce, etc.).<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t

        Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
        • Use Panko<\/strong>: Panko breadcrumbs, coarser than conventional breadcrumbs, make nuggets even crispier. You can also mix fine breadcrumbs with panko for a balanced crunch.
          <\/li>
        • Dry the chicken<\/strong>: Before breading, dry the chicken pieces with kitchen paper. This helps the flour and breading to adhere better.<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\n\t\t\t
