Description

Delicious and easy-to-make chicken nuggets with a BBQ potato chip coating, perfect for a fun family cooking activity!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 heaping cups BBQ flavored potato chips, finely crushed
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into small, even, bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Crush the BBQ potato chips using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and whacking them with a rolling pin. Pour the crumbs into a shallow bowl.
  3. Drizzle the chicken pieces with avocado oil and toss to coat.
  4. Press each chicken piece into the crushed potato chips to ensure they are well coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Place the coated nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  7. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it is safely cooked.
