Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch pieces (approximately 2 chicken breasts)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko breading
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
  • Set out three separate bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and salt. In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, add the panko breading.
  • Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally, the panko.
  • Place chicken in a single even layer in the basket of the air fryer. (Work in batches if your air fryer isn't large enough).
  • Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and top with buffalo sauce. Gently toss to coat.
  • OPTIONAL: Place the chicken back in the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes if you want them crispier.
  • Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
