Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken
Ingredients
  • Yield serves 4 (serving size: about 5 pieces)
  • Much healthier, but with that irresistible “fried” taste and texture, this air fryer popcorn chicken was described by recipe testers as “super addicting!” Dredging the chicken bits in finely-crushed cornflakes add a nice crunch, plus they brown better in the air fryer than if you were to use flour. Don’t skip the powdered sugar, as it also helps brown the popcorn chicken pieces (and also balance the dried spices).
  • Hot tip: Sprinkling the chicken with salt after cooking is a great healthy cooking tip to amplify the flavor of salt while dialing back the total sodium count. Plus, it’s common salt food after frying it. Don’t forget your dipping sauce-ketchup, BBQ sauce, even Chick-fil-A sauce.
  • Ingredients
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
