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°F for 5 minutes.
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and cracked pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken and mix well to coat the pieces evenly.
- Spritz the air fryer basket with non-stick spray and arrange the chicken in a single layer, ensuring there's space between the pieces for crispiness. If you’re short on time, a single layer without space is acceptable but may not yield crispy bits.
- Air fry for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your taste preference.
These chicken bites can be served with your favorite dipping sauce.
