Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into long, thin strips resembling fries and pat dry.
- Prepare three bowls: combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one; place beaten eggs in another; and add panko breadcrumbs to the third.
- Dredge each chicken strip in seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip into beaten eggs, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange chicken strips in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them. Lightly spray with olive oil.
- Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juiciness.
- Add grated Parmesan to the breadcrumbs for additional flavor.
- Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to maintain crunch.
- Freeze cooked chicken fries for up to 2 months and reheat from frozen.
