Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning, and Parmesan cheese until well blended.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, ensuring it’s completely coated.
Roll the egg-dipped chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly for an even coating.
Place the coated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For a creative twist, add spices like paprika or cayenne for heat.
