Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Bites
Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Bites cook up super fast in the Air Fryer and have lots of spicy flavor. So easy to make and they taste great dipped in some blue cheese dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- blue cheese dressing for serving
- olive oil spray
Instructions
-
Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to mix. Set aside.
-
Whisk together egg and milk in a second bowl. Set aside.
-
Cut chicken into bite-sized (1-inch) pieces. Coat in egg mixture and then toss to coat in flour mixture. Works best if you only coat 3 to 4 pieces at a time. Place coated chicken pieces on a plate.
-
Refrigerate coated chicken for 20 minutes.
Note: you can skip this step but I find it helps the flour brown up better.
-
Spray both sides of chicken with olive oil.
-
Set Air Fryer to 370 degrees for 14 minutes. Let preheat for 2 minutes. When timer says 12 minutes, place chicken in Air Fryer basket. Do not crowd. You will probably want to cook them in 2 batches.
-
Air Fry for the remianing 12 minutes, shaking basket halfway through.
Note: Cooking time can vary based on Air Fryer and size of chicken pieces. Use it as an estimate only.
-
Toss with buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
