Air Fryer Honey BBQ Chicken Bites
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sticky honey BBQ glaze - these bite-sized chicken pieces are the ultimate quick appetizer or healthy dinner for any gathering.
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

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade, coating each piece evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for a few minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer, without overcrowding.

- Let the chicken bites rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
