Crispy and delicious homemade chicken nuggets seasoned with ranch seasoning mix and covered in a crispy breadcrumb coating. These chicken nuggets are cooked in the air-fryer, making them so much more crispy them baking. They taste like they have been fried, but with no oil, making them a healthier delicious alternative. You can make these chicken nuggets as a fun family friendly meal, or as an appetizer for any occasion, like on game day. Serve with a side of ketchup, ranch dressing or any other of your favorite dipping sauces.
To bread these chicken nuggets, they are first dipped in a mixture of egg and milk. Then they are coated into a mixture of flour and ranch seasoning mix. The chicken is coated back into the egg mixture, and lastly coated fully in breadcrumbs. Air-fry the chicken nuggets in batches until they are crispy and tender.
