Ingredients

Air fryer nuggets

  • 600 g chicken mini fillets
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • Salt and pepper
  • 250 ml panko breadcrumbs
  • 50 g parmesan, finely grated (optional)
  • Cooking oil spray

Tartare sauce

  • 250 ml mayonnaise
  • 4-5 tbsp fresh herbs – I use dill, chives and parsley
  • 2 pickled gherkins, finely chopped (a little over 50 ml)
  • 1 tbsp capers, finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

Homemade tartare sauce

  • Mix all the ingredients for the tartare sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
    *If you would like a lighter tartare sauce, you can easily replace 100 ml of the mayonnaise with 100 ml crème fraîche. It makes the sauce less rich and adds a little more acidity.
  • Keep the tartare sauce in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

Air fryer nuggets

  • Mix the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg, oil and spices together well, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Turn the chicken thoroughly in the egg mixture, then coat the pieces in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the chicken in the air fryer in a single layer and spray the tops with cooking oil spray.
  • Cook for about 12 minutes at 200°C on the air fryer setting.
    *Check the pieces after 6-8 minutes – in some air fryers the pieces need turning to crisp up on both sides. Remember to spray the newly exposed side with cooking oil spray if you turn them.
  • Season the chicken with a little salt after cooking and serve with the tartare sauce.
