Set your air fryer for 5 minutes to 400°F (200°C).
While the air fryer is preheating, prepare your breading station. In one bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs or panko, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
Take the Tyson Popcorn Chicken pieces and dip each one into the flour, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
Transfer the chicken from the egg mixture to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
Place the breaded chicken pieces into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Lightly spray the chicken pieces with cooking spray to enhance crispiness (optional but recommended).
Cook the Tyson Popcorn Chicken in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time using tongs or a fork.
Once the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, remove it from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate. Repeat the process for any remaining chicken pieces.
Serve the Tyson Popcorn Chicken immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
