Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking spray
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and softened cream cheese in a bowl until well mixed.
  2. Setup your breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a third.
  3. Shape the mixture into sticks, coating each in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the sticks in a single layer in the air fryer.
  6. Spray their tops with cooking spray.
  7. Air fry for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, and garnish with chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken is well-shredded and preheat the air fryer. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
