Steps for preparing and cooking Gluten-Free Breaded Chicken Bites in Air Fryer:
Take the chicken breast slices (they should be thick or alternatively take a whole chicken breast and cut it into thick slices yourself), dry them well with absorbent paper then take a slice, cut it into strips about 1.5 inches wide, then cut each strip into 1.5-inch pieces to obtain bites.
Place the rice flour in a deep dish, add the chicken bites and coat them well, then remove the excess rice flour and place them on a plate.
Beat 2 eggs, lightly salt, then add the floured chicken bites, turning them well to mix the beaten egg thoroughly.
In a flat dish, place the bread crumbs, add the chicken bites a few at a time, making sure they adhere well.
Start placing the breaded bites on the air fryer’s grill and continue coating all the bites with bread crumbs.
Once finished and placed in the fryer without overlapping too much, add 3/4 puffs of extra virgin olive oil, cook at 350°F for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times for even cooking.
Once cooked, place the bites on a serving plate and serve them with mayonnaise and ketchup (Ensure they are gluten-free).
