Cut the chicken into chunks (around 1-1.5" pieces), removing any excess fat and set aside
Add the smoked paprika, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder and pepper into a shallow dish and mix together so the spices are evenly distributed throughout the breadcrumbs then set aside
Whisk together the eggs in a mixing bowl
Take one piece of chicken at a time, dip into the egg binder then immediately place into the breadcrumb mix and coat fully
Repeat this until all chicken pieces are fully coated in breadcrumbs
Place the chicken nuggets in the air fryer drawer on a single layer, making sure there are no overlapping pieces (you may need to do several batches)
Brush or spray the olive oil over the nuggets so they are evenly coated
Cook in the air fryer for 4 minutes at 200°C
Remove the air fryer drawer and use tongs to flip the chicken nuggets over
Spray or brush more oil on the nuggets if required
Cook for a further 4 minutes at 200°C until golden and crispy
Once baked, remove from the air fryer, serve and enjoy!
