Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 Cup Seasoned Flour or Gluten-Free Seasoned Flour
  • 1 Cup Barbecue Sauce
  • Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into small bite-size chunks and place in a mixing bowl.
  • Coat with the seasoned flour.
  • Spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil cooking spray and evenly pour the chicken into the air fryer.
  • Cook at 390 degrees F for 8 minutes.
  • Open the air fryer, coat with olive oil spray and turn the chicken if necessary.
  • Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Check the chicken to be sure it's at least 165 degrees F.
  • If so, remove and place it into a clean bowl.
  • Add in the sauce and mix well, coating the chicken.
  • Line the air fryer with a sheet of foil if you prefer or simply add the chicken back to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the sauce is warmed up and the chicken is a bit more crispy and coated.
  • Serve.

Notes

The chicken needs to be at least 165 degrees to be fully cooked. All air fryers heat differently, so be sure to check it halfway through the cooking time.
2 Medium Chicken Breast - serves about 4 people 6-8 nuggets. If you need more use 2 pounds of chicken breast.
Grapeseed Oil Spray does have a higher smoke point if you prefer to use that.
