Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. If using breadcrumbs, mix them with Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture for added crunch.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Serving

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the basket for even cooking. Adjust cooking time based on chicken size and air fryer model. Experiment with seasonings to suit your taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
