Cheetos Crusted Chicken Nuggets
Tender chicken breast cubes air-fried in a vibrant, crunchy Cheetos crust for a nostalgic and protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 oz Cheetos
1 large egg
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the Cheetos in a food processor or a sealed bag and pulse or crush until they reach a fine, sandy texture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then roll in the crushed Cheetos until fully and evenly coated.
Arrange the nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
