Mix panko, ranch seasoning, and Parmesan in a shallow dish.
Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, press into ranch panko mixture.
Spray with oil. Air fry at 380°F for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and 165°F internal.
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.
