👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the air fryer.: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) if needed.

3. 3Combine the flour mixture.: In a large ziploc bag add the flour, sugar, salt, paprika and pepper. Close the bag and shake it so that all ingredients are mixed well.
4. 4Coat the chicken.: Add the chicken pieces to the ziploc bag, close it and shake it until each piece is fully coated in the flour mixture.
5. 5Air fry the chicken.: Remove the chicken pieces from the ziploc bag, shake all the excess flour from them and spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with a little cooking spray. Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer and spray them as well with a bit of cooking spray. Put the basket into the air fryer and and air fry the chicken for 15 minutes. Remove the basket halfway through the cooking time to shake the poppers around.
