Notes
Nutrition Disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.
Air Frying Tip: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and cook in batches if needed for maximum crispiness.
Coat Chicken: Be sure to spray the chicken with olive oil spray or cooking spray before cooking. This will help with the breading becoming extra crispy!
Parmesan Note: Freshly grated parmesan will give you the best flavor and texture, but pre-grated can work in a pinch.
For Extra Lemon Flavor: serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving.
