Crispy BBQ Chicken Bites ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- as needed olive oil cooking spray
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
How to make Crispy BBQ Chicken Bites
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) or your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat the 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast dry with paper towels, then cut it into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. This helps ensure even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss until all chicken pieces are evenly coated, ensuring each piece gets a light dusting.
- Lightly spray the seasoned chicken pieces with olive oil cooking spray. This promotes crispiness and prevents sticking during cooking.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in your air fryer basket or on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked chicken bites to a clean bowl, pour 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce over them, and toss gently until all the chicken is fully coated.
- Serve the Crispy BBQ Chicken Bites immediately with extra BBQ sauce for dipping, if desired.
