Ingredients

1 lb boneless (skinless chicken breast (2 breasts))
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder (use ground cayenne to make it hotter)
1/8 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup seasoned panko (or gluten-free crumbs)
olive oil spray
3 tablespoons Frank's Hot Sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
optional: celery stalks and carrot sticks, 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (for serving)

Instructions

Cut the chicken into small bite sized chunks. Season with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder and black pepper.
Place panko in a small bowl. Place the hot sauce in another small bowl.
Dip the chicken into the hot sauce a few at a time, then into the crumbs and place on the air fryer basket in a single layer, in batches if needed.
Spray the top generously with olive oil and air fry 8 minutes at 400, flipping halfway and spraying the other side when you flip.
Serve with celery and carrot sticks and blue cheese dressing, if desired.
