Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken
Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken
Ingredients
Marinade
- 2 lbs chicken breast tenders cut into small pieces
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 ground paprika
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 3 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- oil spray
Instructions
- Set aside three shallow bowls on the counter.
- In a large ziplock bag, add the chicken and marinade ingredients. Marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to 6 hours.
- In a large shallow bowl, add the dry ingredients.
- After marinating, place chicken and marinade into a large bowl. Working in small batches, dredge chicken chunks into dry ingredients, shake off excess flour, dunk again briefly into the marinade, then dredge for a second time in the dry ingredients, fully coating each piece of chicken. Be sure to gently shake off excess flour mixture.
- Spray olive oil onto the bottom and sides of the inside of the air fryer basket. Place breaded chicken in an even layer; set aside the rest of the chicken. Give the tops of the chicken in the air fryer basket a quick spray with olive oil, then place it into the air fryer oven.
- Cook in the air fryer oven at 370 degrees for 10 minutes; shake halfway through. NOTE: depending on the size and amount of chicken, you may need to allow yours to cook in the air fryer oven for 2-3 minutes more.
- Remove from the air fryer oven, and repeat steps until you're finished with all of the chicken (four batches for me; it may be more or less for you, depending on how you cut your chicken pieces).
- Serve immediately. Enjoy it!
