Method

  1. Cut the chicken1 breast into 3–4 cm pieces, season with salt and pepper, and toss with the paprika and dried garlic.

  2. Crush the cornflakes2 by hand or with a rolling pin into coarse crumbs.

  3. Beat the egg with a fork. Dip the chicken1 pieces in the egg, then coat in the crumbs, pressing the coating on lightly.

  4. Arrange the nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray with oil.

  5. Cook at 200 °C for 10–12 minutes, turning after 6 minutes. The nuggets are done when the coating is golden and the chicken1 inside is white and juicy.

  6. Serve hot with ketchup.

Tips

Why it works
Крупная крошка из хлопьев лучше держится на яйце и быстрее подрумянивается при 200 °C, поэтому курица успевает остаться сочной.
Substitutions
Замени сушёный чеснок 1 маленьким тёртым зубчиком или убери его совсем. Кетчуп можно заменить йогуртом с щепоткой соли.
Common mistakes
Частая ошибка: класть наггетсы вплотную. Если через 10 минут панировка местами бледная и влажная, в корзине было слишком тесно.
Storing and reheating
Храни в холодильнике до 2 дней. Разогревай в аэрогриле 4–5 минут при 180 °C, чтобы панировка снова подсохла.
Serve with
Подавай на ужин с картофельным пюре или нарезанными огурцами и помидорами.
