- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ - 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder

- 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.
