- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese powdered is fine
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ - 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Transfer the drained canned chicken to a large mixing bowl and break it up into shreds using either a fork or a pastry cutter. Or puree it in a food processor.
- Mix beaten eggs into the shredded chicken and then add the pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and hot sauce (if using). Stir until well mixed. Fold in the Parmesan cheese, and shredded cheese.
- Form the chicken mixture into individual chicken nuggets using your hands. Use 1.5 – 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture for each nugget.
- Grease an air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place a single layer of uncooked chicken nuggets into the prepared basket (don’t crowd the basket, it’s best if they’re not touching each other)
- Air fry at 375° for 20 minutes, gently flipping the chicken nuggets one time at the 10 minute mark.
- Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces.
