• 1 lb RedBird Ground Chicken

• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp salt

Method

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine RedBird Ground Chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

2. Form the Nuggets: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape it into small nugget-sized patties.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

4. Cook the Nuggets: Place the nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

5. Serve: Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauces or pack them up for a healthy meal prep option!
