Crispy Air Fryer Catfish Bites
Ingredients
  • 1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup seasoned fish fry coating (such as Louisiana® Fish Fry Products)
  • nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
1
Preheat your air fryer to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Take your seasoned breading mix and transfer it to a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the catfish pieces inside and close the bag. Shake vigorously to evenly coat each piece of fish with the breading mixture on all sides.
3
Arrange the nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet and give them a light misting of non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the nuggets from sticking to the sheet during cooking.
4
Carefully place the nuggets in an even layer within your air fryer basket, ensuring that they are sprayed side down. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
5
Give the top of each nugget a light spritzing of non-stick cooking spray to help them cook evenly.
6
Cook the nuggets in the air fryer for 8 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Using a pair of tongs, carefully flip the nuggets over and continue cooking for an additional 4 minutes to achieve the perfect golden brown finish.
