Air Fryer Chicken Bites

Air fryer chicken cut into bite size pieces and displayed in a white bowl on a table with a cloth. The chicken is seasoned well and garnished with parsley.

If chicken is one of your main household favorites then this juicy and tender Air Fryer Chicken Bites recipe is perfect for you! I love that I can cook these bites in just 12-minutes with very little prep and my family can chose their portion. Because they are bites, they go well serving them over rice and pastas or even in salads. I like to dip mine in tzatziki sauce, hummus, or a garlic yogurt sauce.
