Description
These quick and easy air fryer chicken bites are made with chunks of boneless, skinless chicken breast seasoned with oil and taco seasoning and air fried until golden, juicy, and delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1lb boneless chicken breast
- 1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons taco seasoning – like Siete
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt – if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
- Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch chunks using a cutting board and a sharp knife. Then add the cubed chicken to a medium bowl.
- Toss the chicken with the oil and taco seasoning to fully coat it all. Note: oil and taco seasoning amounts are based on preference and the type of taco seasoning used. I used the Siete brand and only needed 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil and 1.5 tablespoons of taco seasoning.
- Add the seasoned, cubed chicken bites to a preheated air fryer in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to get all of the sides of the chicken nice and golden.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and serve. Note: the chicken is done once the internal temperature (checked with a meat thermometer) reaches 165°F and the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
Notes
- Chicken – I used boneless chicken breast, but you can also use boneless chicken thighs.
- Seasoning – Use any chicken seasoning you like.
- Cooking times – air fryers vary, so check the chicken at around 8 minutes and continue to cook as needed until the internal temperature (checked with a meat thermometer) reaches 165°F.
- Storage – store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or air fryer until fully heated through.
