How to prepare Chicken with cornflakes
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces of roughly the same size to ensure even cooking. Remove any tendons and small bones. Beat the flour with the water and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Coarsely crumble the cornflakes, you can do this in a mixer or simply crumble them between your hands or in a food bag. Using kitchen tongs, dip the chicken pieces first in the batter and then in the cornflakes.
Make sure the cereal sticks well all over. Place the Chicken on an oiled baking sheet or lined with parchment paper, or simply on an air fryer rack. Spray them with olive oil. Cook the Chicken Nuggets in the Air Fryer at 375°F for about 16-18 minutes.

Loredana’s Tips
You can prepare the Nuggets in advance and, without cooking them, store them for a day in a container in the fridge
If you prefer not to use the batter, you can simply dip the chicken in milk or beaten egg.
For baking, proceed in the same way and let them cook in a hot oven at 375°F for 20 minutes
