Ainekset

1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

olive oil cooking spray

Ohjeet

In a small bowl, mix together the panko, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.

Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip a piece of chicken in the egg mixture until coated. Use a fork to transfer to the breadcrumb mixture and toss until coated, pressing to adhere. For thicker breading, dip the piece of chicken back into the egg mixture, then toss again in the breadcrumb mixture.

Spray the air fryer tray with olive oil, and as you bread each piece of chicken, place into the air fryer. Don't overcrowd the air fryer or overlap the chicken pieces. They should be barely touching. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you'll likely need to cook the chicken in two batches. Once the air fryer is full, spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil.

Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Flip the chicken halfway through the cook time.
