Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Begin by adding ground chicken, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Rake the ingredients together to combine into a meat mixture, but stop mixing or "raking" once all the ingredients have fully combined.
Take a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop (or a regular soup soon) and scoop the ground meat mixture. Place into your hands and form a patty using your hands and fingers. Repeat until all the meat has been used for the chicken patties.
Preheat the air fryer to 400º. Dip each individual chicken patty into whisked eggs, then directly into breadcrumbs, evenly coating on both sides.
Place several chicken nuggets into the air fryer, spray with nonstick cooking spray, and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway. Repeat.

Notes

Rake the ground meat mixture together using your four fingers. Turn your hand in a circular motion to mix and "rake" the ingredients just until well combined. Assemble the patties before beginning to bread them as it will take some time. That way, you can get all the chicken prepared ahead of time, and then bread and fry in batches. Easier than working 1:1!
