Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken dry and cut into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Toss with oil, then coat evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder if using.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange chicken in a single layer and cook 9 to 11 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and 165°F inside.
  4. Pile onto a plate, sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, and serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra-crispy edges, pat the chicken very dry before coating. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes. This recipe doubles easily; just cook the bites in batches so the basket stays uncrowded.
