Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds ground chicken 

1 large egg (beaten)

1/3 cup whole wheat flour 

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 sweet onion (diced)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3/4 cup sugar-free BBQ Sauce

Coating:

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

• In a large mixing bowl add in the ground chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and diced onions. Mix together.
• Add in the beaten egg and whole wheat flour. Mix with a spoon until everything is combined.
• Roll the chicken mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
• In a separate medium mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the coating.
• Carefully roll each chicken ball into the coating mixture.
• Spray the air-fryer basket with cooking spray and add in each ball making sure not to overcrowd the poppers – you may need to make several batches.
• Set the fryer to 400F and cook 12-14 minutes, turning the poppers halfway through and spraying the balls with cooking spray to make them crispier.
• Remove the cooked chicken poppers and toss in the 3/4 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce or sauce of choice and serve immediately.
