Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the seasonings and mix them thoroughly. Sprinkle over the chicken and mix well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spritz the air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer, leaving space between each piece for optimal crispiness. If you’re short on time, you can place them closer together but will not achieve as much crispiness.
- Air fry the chicken for 8 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Allow the chicken bites to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences for a customized flavor.
Serve these chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauces for a flavorful experience.
