Crispy Chicken Chips

Ingredients

• 600 g chicken breast (Cut into fry-sized strips.)
• 2 eggs (Beaten.)
• 1 tsp water
• 0.5 cup flour
• 1.5 cups cornflakes (Crushed or left in small flakes for coating.)
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Use as part of the coating or sprinkle on halfway through air-frying, as shown in the video.)
• 1 tsp garlic and onion powder (Combined amount.)
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• spray oil (Spray for approximately 2 seconds; amount is not otherwise specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat an air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Lightly coat the air-fryer basket with spray oil if needed to help prevent sticking.

2. 2

   Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized fry-shaped strips. Keeping the pieces similar in thickness will help them cook at the same rate.

3. 3

   Combine the garlic and onion powder, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Season the chicken strips evenly with the mixture.

4. 4

   Place the flour in a shallow bowl or dish. Put the beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon of water in a second bowl and whisk together. Place the cornflakes in a third shallow dish.

5. 5

   Dip each seasoned chicken strip into the flour, turning to coat and shaking off excess. Transfer it to the egg mixture and coat completely, then press it into the cornflakes so the crumbs adhere on all sides.

6. 6

   Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, leaving space around them for air circulation. Spray the tops lightly with oil, using approximately 2 seconds of spray.

7. 7

   Air-fry at 200°C (400°F) for 9 minutes, turning or shaking the basket as needed for even browning. Halfway through cooking, add or sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the chicken chips as shown in the video, then continue cooking.

8. 8

   Check that the coating is golden and crisp and that the thickest chicken pieces reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). Serve immediately while hot and crunchy.

Notes

The written post specifies 9 minutes at 200°C and approximately 2 seconds of spray oil. Air-fryer cooking can vary with strip thickness and basket size, so verify doneness with an instant-read thermometer.
