Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken is an appetizer made with coated boneless chicken breasts that are cooked in an air fryer and tossed with homemade buffalo sauce.
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 breadcrumbs
- 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 breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally, the breadcrumbs.
- 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.
