Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning optional
  • Olive oil spray for spraying

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Oil Spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
  4. Lightly spray with olive oil.
  5. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
  6. Serve warm with ranch, honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or your favorite dip!

Notes

For extra crispiness, spray the chicken with a little more olive oil halfway through cooking to encourage browning., Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small to ensure even browning; overcrowding causes steaming rather than roasting., These bites are gluten-free when served with gluten-free dips and sauces., Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes.
