Method

1

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces; pat dry with paper towels.

2

In one bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3

In a second bowl, beat egg lightly with 1 tablespoon water.

4

Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

5

Working in batches, coat chicken pieces in flour mixture, shake off excess, dip in egg wash, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.

6

Spray air-fryer basket lightly with vegetable oil and arrange breaded chicken in a single layer without crowding.

7

Air-fry at 380°F for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Transfer to a serving plate. Mix ketchup and honey in a small bowl for dipping sauce, if desired.
