Crispy, flavorful Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Bites made with simple seasonings and cooked to juicy perfection. These quick and easy chicken bites are ideal for a snack, appetizer, or a protein-packed meal, ready in just minutes without any deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasoning

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it is hot and ready to cook the chicken evenly.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade for the chicken.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces into the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded for optimal crispness.
  5. Cook the Chicken Bites: Air fry the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy.
  6. Serve: Optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, then serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside roasted vegetables for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, flip the chicken bites halfway through cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate properly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to ensure food safety.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory flavor and slight crunch.
  • Can be served as an appetizer, snack, or main dish paired with sides like salads or veggies.
