Who doesn't like popcorn chicken? I'm sure you want to eat popcorn chicken in a healthier version. An air-fryer can now make it easier for you to make this dish without adding extra oil as the traditional deep fry does.
Ingredients
- Chicken of your choice (thigh, tender, breast)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes.
- AIr-fry the chicken at 330 °F for about 10 -15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to oil-spray the air fryer to prevent the chicken from sticking.
