Air Fryer Chicken Bites
Crispy, well-seasoned boneless chicken thigh bites from the air fryer—no breading required, ready in about 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
- In a small bowl combine the ketchup, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
- Place pieces of chicken into a medium bowl or a large zip-top bag. Add the mixture and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the chicken pieces in the basket in a single layer. Do not crowd or overlap the chicken.
- Air fry at 380°F for 9 to 11 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°F. Actual time will vary on your air fryer and the size of the chicken pieces.
- Repeat the cooking process for the remaining chicken, working in batches. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
