Crispy Ranch Air Fryer Nuggets
Added on Feb 04, 2026
1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1.5 to 2-inch pieces
1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch salad dressing mix
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 serving olive oil cooking spray

Place chicken in a bowl, sprinkle with ranch seasoning, and toss to combine. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Place flour in a resealable bag. Place egg in a small bowl and panko bread crumbs on a plate. Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees.

Place chicken into the bag and toss to coat. Lightly dip chicken into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Roll chicken pieces in panko, pressing crumbs into the chicken.

Spray basket of the air fryer with oil and place chicken pieces inside, making sure not to overlap. You may have to do two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Lightly mist chicken with cooking spray.

Cook for 4 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and cook until chicken is no longer pink on the inside, about 4 more minutes. Serve immediately.

2 cups carnation evaporated milk
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white sugar

Whisk the sugar into the mixture, add the milk, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. Lastly, add the bread to the bowl, gently stirring to coat the cubes. Set the mixture aside, about 30-40 minutes or so, to allow the bread to soak. Toss periodically, then pour into a baking dish. Place in 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. Test the bread pudding to make sure the top is golden brown and the inside is cooked. Let cool and enjoy.
