Delicious bite-sized chicken pieces coated in a sweet and smoky honey BBQ glaze, cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Main

  • 1.5 lb boneless & skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1.5 tbsp honey

Instructions 

  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange chicken in a single layer and cook for 6 minutes, shake, then cook another 4-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Combine BBQ sauce, butter, and honey in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring until smooth and warmed (~5-8 minutes).
  • Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl, pour warm glaze over, and toss to coat evenly.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with the seasonings for 30 minutes before cooking.
