Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup BBQ sauce (ensure it's halal-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray for air frying)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces. Toss to combine, making sure each piece is generously coated. Cover this bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the marinated chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Serving
- Once done, remove the chicken bites from the air fryer and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to cut chicken into uniform sizes for even cooking. Marinate for longer if possible for better flavor. Monitor cooking time, as air fryers may vary.
