Season the meat and let it marinate for a few minutes.
1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Add the cream and an egg over the meat. Mix all the ingredients well.
2 tablespoons Cream, 1 Piece Egg
Pour the panko in a bag. Add 4-5 pieces of meat over the panko. Close well the bag and shake the bag until the meat will be well covered on all the sides with the panko. Repeat the procedure until you have breaded all the meat pieces.

- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you need to cook a larger quantity of chicken nuggets, consider cooking them in a few batches.
- Want an even crispier crust? After you arranged all the chicken nuggets on the air fryer basket, sprinkle them with a little bit of olive oil.
