Healthy Air Fryer Chicken Bites
Healthy air fryer chicken bites are a quick, easy, and flavorful option for meals or snacks. Made with lean chicken and a light, seasoned coating, they’re crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. These bites are versatile, kid-approved, and great for dipping into your favorite sauces!
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes.
- Season chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil. Add garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat evenly.
- Arrange in basket: Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Lightly spray with olive oil.
- Cook: Air fry the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they’re golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Let the chicken cool slightly, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
Notes
For best results, use chicken pieces of similar size to ensure even cooking. If you prefer extra crispiness, add a light coating of breadcrumbs or panko to the chicken before air frying.
