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

First, grease the wire rack or air frying basket that your chicken nuggets will bake on.
Next, combine the ingredients for the nuggets. This includes the ground chicken, cassava flour, garlic, salt and cumin.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients for the breading: cassava flour, paprika, turmeric, cumin and chili powder.
Use a large cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons in size) to scoop the nuggets. Shape the nuggets into ovals, dip them in the whisked egg, then coat them in the breading. Be sure to cover all sides of the nugget in both the egg mixture and the coating.
Place the nuggets on your greased wire rack. Be sure to have a drip pan underneath to catch any juices from the chicken.
Place the nuggets in your air fryer (middle rack). Set the function to "air fry" and cook at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. No need to preheat the air fryer.
Once done, let the nuggets cool a couple minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

I own a Breville Smart Oven which has an air frying function, so instructions are given for this particular device. That being said, any smart oven or air fryer will work similarly.
