Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken

This Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken recipe from Skinny Taste was so easy to make a huge hit for our family. Everyone wanted seconds (and thirds!) I always eliminate salt out of our recipes as we are focusing on low or no sodium. If you make this, let me know in the comments below!

Ingredients:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2-3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 tbsp flour
1 large egg
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
pepper for taste
PAM spray 

Directions:
Add oil to a medium skillet on medium and add panko. Toast panko for 4 minutes until golden, stirring every 30 seconds (this made the chicken SO good and you can taste the toasted panko when you air fry it). Transfer crumbs to a plate. Cut chicken into cubes and season with pepper. You should have about 60 cubes. 

Place flour on a large plate. In a bowl, place the egg and 1 tsp water and beat until uniform. In another bowl, add the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne and pepper. Add to the panko. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees and spray the basket with olive oil.  

Working in batches, dredge the chicken in flour, then egg, and then panko. 

Add to the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space in between each piece so they get crispy. Spray the top with oil. Cook for about five minutes. If they still aren't as crispy as you would like, cook for two more minutes. 

Serve with barbecue sauce and white rice. Enjoy!
