Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Bites
These air fryer boneless chicken bites are tender and juicy and perfect for a main course or appetizer. And they're ready in just 10 minutes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs boneless, skinless; diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Toss the chicken in a large bowl with the cornstarch until it is evenly coated.
- Add the seasonings to the bowl and toss or mix until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken pieces in an even layer in the air fryer and spray them with olive oil.
- Air fry the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes until they're crispy on the outside, and their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate the chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze the chicken in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To reheat the chicken, defrost it overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Then, microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals until heated through.
- Always preheat your air fryer for even cooking and accurate cooking times. It only takes 3 to 5 minutes, and it delivers much better results.
- 1-inch cubes are the best size for your bites. They're large enough to cook without drying out and small enough for easy eating.
- Never use aerosolized nonstick spray on your air fryer basket. The spray can damage the basket's nonstick coating over time.
- Be sure to place your chicken bites in an even layer with no overlapping. The hot air needs to be able to circulate freely for the best texture and most even cooking.
