Preparation Steps

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
• Prepare the chicken breasts by cutting the chicken into 1-inch chicken nugget pieces. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until combined.
• Dip each chicken nugget into the whisked eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, transfer the egg-coated nugget to the breadcrumb mixture and coat all sides.
• Place the coated chicken nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
• Drizzle the chicken nuggets with olive oil. Cook for 4 minutes at 400°F. Flip the nuggets and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Remove the chicken nuggets from the basket. Repeat the cooking process with any remaining batches.
• Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.
