Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Nuggets
Chargrilled over glowing charcoal embers with an authentic smoky char, served with handcrafted accompaniments and savoury reductions.
Ingredients
- • 3 chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
- • 4 slices wholemeal bread
- • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
- • 2 tsp honey
- • 1 tsp BBQ seasoning
- • 1 tsp chipotle paste
- • 1 tsp garlic granules
- • low calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
In a small bowl combine the BBQ sauce, BBQ seasoning, ketchup, honey, chipotle paste and garlic granules and stir together.
Add the chicken to a separate bowl and pour over the sauce mixture. Stir the chicken until fully coated, cover the bowl with cling film and pop in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Place the bread into a food processor and blitz into fine breadcrumbs. Pour out onto a plate.
Pre-heat your air fryer to 170ºC.
Remove the chicken from the fridge and dip each chicken piece into the breadcrumbs completely coating on all sides.
Repeat with the rest of the chicken, spray lightly with low-calorie cooking spray and place into the air fryer. You may need to split into 2 batches.Â
Cook for 15 minutes until the nuggets are crispy and golden. To test that the chicken is cooked, cut a piece in half, the juices should run clear and there should be no pink remaining.Â
Serve with your choice of accompaniment.
