High-Protein Rice-Paper Chicken Nuggets

Original source

Ingredients

250 g chicken breast
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
1 egg
Rice paper wrappers, as needed (see Notes)
A little oil for the filling and for spraying the wrapped nuggets; quantity not specified

Put the chicken breast in a food processor with the smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, egg and a little oil. Blend to a smooth, cohesive mixture.
Briefly wet both sides of a rice paper wrapper. Lay it on a board and spread the chicken mixture in an even line along the centre.
Fold the wrapper over the filling and roll it into a compact log, spreading the filling evenly as you go. Cut the filled log into nugget-sized pieces. Repeat with the remaining mixture and wrappers.
Arrange the pieces in an air-fryer basket and lightly spray them with oil. Air-fry at 200°C for 12 minutes, until cooked through and crisp.
Transfer the nuggets to a wire rack and let them cool briefly so the wrappers remain crisp. Serve plain or with a sauce.
For the optional Buffalo-style version, melt some butter with Buffalo Tabasco sauce and toss the cooked nuggets in the mixture.

Before you begin

MAX's YouTube description supplies the measured ingredients; the spoken video supplies the added oil, wrapping and cutting method, air-fryer temperature and time, cooling step, and optional butter–Buffalo Tabasco finish. The description does not specify an oil quantity or the number/size of rice paper wrappers.
MAX recommends rice paper for spring rolls with rice flour listed first, rather than a tapioca-starch-first summer-roll wrapper, for a crisper result. Check the wrapper packet's ingredient list.
The source does not specify a yield. The 12-minute cooking time is the creator's stated setting; check that the chicken filling is fully cooked before serving, especially if your nugget size or air fryer differs.
MAX credits the original video to @panaceapalm. This entry follows MAX's demonstrated adaptation and retains that credit.
The hero is a locally generated food photograph approved as an approximation; it is not a photograph of the source video's finished nuggets. See the linked video for their actual appearance.
