Oil spray

2 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken and buttermilk in a large reusable container. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Combine panko, paprika and garlic powder in a separate large reusable container. Season with salt and pepper. Drain chicken and cut into 3 cm pieces. Place chicken in crumb mixture, seal container, then shake until pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Lightly spray a 7.5 litre capacity air fryer basket with oil. Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Place chicken nuggets in prepared basket and cook for 5 minutes.
