Instructions For Making Air Fryer Chicken Steak
- First, preheat the air fryer at 370°. Now, cut steaks into 5-7 cubes. If needed, use a mallet to soften them.
- Next, take a bowl to combine all mentioned spices. Similarly, in a separate bowl, whisk one egg and water together.
- Now take a steak cube and coat it with flour mix. Then mix it with the egg mix. After that, again, put it into the flour mix. Make sure you cover all sides correctly. Repeat the same process with other steak pieces.
