Step 3

Beat eggs together in a small bowl. Dip chicken into the eggs and then drop into panko mixture making sure to coat the chicken on all sides.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Spray the air fryer insert with a nonstick cooking spray and carefully place your chicken into the air fryer. Do not overcrowd the insert. You may need to do this in batches.

Step 5
