Crispy air-fried chicken strips coated in seasoned breadcrumbs, served alongside golden potato wedges.

Method

1. Place potato wedges in a bowl. Add ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.

2. Place wedges in the air fryer, spray with olive oil, and cook at 200°C for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp paprika, ⅓ tsp garlic powder, a pinch of black pepper, ⅓ tsp mixed herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken strips and mix with your hands to coat. Crack in the egg and mix again, then add the cornstarch and mix further.

4. Halfway through the potato cook time, open the air fryer and shake the basket, flipping the wedges for even cooking.

5. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs with 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp garlic powder. Coat each chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture one at a time.

6. Once the potatoes are done, place the chicken strips in the air fryer basket and spray with olive oil. Cook at 200°C for 8–10 minutes.

7. Flip the strips, spray with olive oil again, and cook for a further 8 minutes until golden and cooked through.

8. Serve with dipping sauce of choice, or a green vegetable.
