To make the air fried chicken nuggets you need to follow the following steps.

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
• To prepare the chicken, peel the garlic and zest the lemon.
• Put the crackers into a food processor with the butter, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper, then process until the mixture is very fine.
• Pour these crumbs onto a plate.
• Sprinkle the flour onto a second plate, then crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat with a fork.
• Roll the chicken pieces in the flour until all sides are completely coated, then dip them into the egg, followed by the flavored crumbs.
• Rub the crumbs onto the chicken pieces so that they stick; the chicken pieces should be totally coated.
• Spray the chicken pieces on all sides with the oil and cook them in the non-stick coated cooking basket for approximately 10-15 minutes or until cooked through, golden and crisp.
