- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese

9 steps- Drain the canned chicken thoroughly, then press it with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Place the chicken in a medium bowl and break it into small pieces.
- Add the egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cheddar and Parmesan.
- Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 5 minutes.
- Divide the mixture into approximately 8 portions. Shape each portion into a nugget, pressing gently so it holds together.

- Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
