Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a donut pan with olive oil or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix until well combined but not overworked.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off, and pipe into the greased donut molds. Smooth the tops with damp fingers if needed.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
Let cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes for extra crispiness (use parchment donut liners).
Try adding finely chopped veggies like spinach or bell peppers to the mix.
Make ahead and reheat in the oven or air fryer for a quick snack.
