How to Make Chicken Bites in the Air Fryer

- Air Fry in a single layer until tender and browned on the edges (per the recipe below).
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or an assortment of favorites for a fun appetizer or easy meal!
Best Tips for Tender Chicken Bites
- Keep pieces the same size so they are bite-sized perfect for guests and so they cook evenly.
- Always take a minute to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should read 165°F, and pieces will cook a bit more once they are removed from the air fryer. Let them rest about 3 minutes before serving.
- Store leftover Cajun chicken bites in the refrigerator and serve cold over a salad or in a sandwich or add to a stir fry, tacos, a casserole, or a wrap for an energizing workday lunch!
