Coat the chicken strips in flour, then egg, then the breadcrumb mix.

Spray lightly with oil. Air fry at 180°C for 12–15 minutes until cooked through and crisp, turning once. Oven option: 200°C / 180°C fan on a tray for 18–20 minutes, turning once.

Tips & Notes

Thigh meat stays juicier than breast in the air fryer.
No dip needed — the coating and wedges are enough.
