  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it; cook in batches if necessary.
  3. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Serving
  1. Serve the hot air fryer chicken bites immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.

Notes

For extra crispy bites, ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, allowing enough space for air circulation. Experiment with different spice blends like chili powder or Italian seasoning for varied flavors.
