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
  1. Set aside three shallow bowls on the counter.
  2. In a large ziplock bag, add the chicken and marinade ingredients. Marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to 6 hours.
  3. In a large shallow bowl, add the dry ingredients.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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).
  8. Serve immediately. Enjoy it!
