Description
Dive into the delicious world of Air Fryer Honey BBQ Chicken Bites – a mouthwatering recipe that combines the convenience of an air fryer with the bold flavors of honey and barbecue sauce. These bite-sized chicken morsels are perfect for snacking, game days, or as a flavorful main dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray for the air fryer basket
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the marinade is well-combined and smooth.
2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the prepared marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for a few minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
4. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket. Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden brown and delightfully crispy.
5. Once cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
