Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 c green onions diced, optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 c Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 c buffalo sauce optional, or use a milder sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees F. In a bowl mix together all ingredients listed above. If you think it is too loose you can add a bit more breadcrumbs. You want them to stick together.
  • Use your hands with 1 heaping tbsp of mixture to roll into balls. Set on a plate or baking sheet until they are all in balls.
  • Spray inside of basket with non stick spray and place balls in one layer with some space between them.
  • Air fry for a total of about 8 minutes (depending on their size), turning over after 4 minutes. After that check internal temperature to ensure they have reached a safe 165 F. If not add 2 more min and check again.
  • Remove, dip in sauce and enjoy
