Air Fryer Chicken Bites

Seasoned boneless chicken thigh chunks air-fried until crisp—no coating needed, done in roughly 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch cubes
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Olive oil cooking spray

Steps

1. Stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
2. Add the chicken pieces to a medium bowl or large zip-top bag. Pour in the sauce and toss until coated. Let marinate at least 15 minutes.
3. Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the chicken in a single layer. Avoid crowding or stacking pieces.
4. Cook at 380°F for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Timing depends on your air fryer and how large the pieces are.
5. Continue with remaining chicken in batches. Offer alongside dipping sauces of your choice.
