📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, flaky salt, and black pepper to a medium-sized bowl. Stir together until well combined.
2
Add the chicken. Once your chicken is cut into 1.5” pieces, add it to the bowl and toss it to coat it in the seasoned oil. Set aside as you preheat the air fryer. Note: If desired, you can allow the chicken to do a quick dry brine for about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes. This increases the flavor, but isn’t necessary.
3
Preheat. Set your air fryer to 400ºF (204ºC) and allow it to preheat for ⏱️ 3 minutes, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4
Place in the basket. Arrange half of the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket, leaving 1 inch of space (or more) between each piece. This will help them cook evenly and develop little crispy bits.
5
Cook. Place the basket into the air fryer and cook for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through cooking (if desired). The chicken bites are done when each piece reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC) at the thickest portion (or 160ºF before resting and 165ºF after a ⏱️ 5 minute rest).
6
Repeat. Remove the cooked pieces to a plate, then repeat with the remaining seasoned chicken bites.
7
Serve and enjoy. Serve them as-is, or with your favorite dipping sauce (we love Greek yogurt ranch dip). They also make delicious additions to wraps, rice bowls, salads, etc.
