Steps
- 1
Mix panko, ranch seasoning, and Parmesan in a shallow dish.
- 2
Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, press into ranch panko mixture.
- 3
Spray with oil. Air fry at 380°F for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and 165°F internal.
- 4
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Tip: Thighs work better than breasts — they stay juicier under the heavy breading. The ranch packet has enough salt, so don't add more. Press the panko firmly so it sticks. Serve with extra ranch for dipping.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 20 minutes vs ~36 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
