    Top Tip

    These chicken thighs are delicious reheated the next day. I place them on a plate and microwave them for 45 seconds to 1 minute with a cover or wet paper towel over top.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long do chicken thighs take to cook in the air fryer?

    Boneless chicken thighs usually take about 12-15 minutes to cook in the air fryer, depending on their size and the temperature of your air fryer. For the best results, cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the outside is lightly crisp. Air frying helps keep the chicken thighs juicy while cooking them faster than traditional oven methods.

    Can I use bone in chicken thighs in the air fryer?

    Yes, bone in chicken thighs can also be used for this lemon garlic chicken recipe. They will take a little longer to cook, usually 18-22 minutes in the air fryer. Always check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F before serving to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.

    Top Tip

    This recipe cooks for 12 minutes. It's important that you break apart the pork bites at 6 minutes. If you don't do this step they will stick together and not get nicely browned.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I keep air fryer pork tenderloin bites juicy?

    To get juicy pork bites, avoid overcooking and cut the pork tenderloin into even pieces for consistent cooking. Air fryer pork tenderloin cooks fast, so checking it early helps prevent drying out.

    Can I use pork loin instead of pork tenderloin in the air fryer?

    Yes, but pork loin in the air fryer may need slightly longer cook time since it's typically leaner and thicker. Pork tenderloin is naturally more tender, which makes it ideal for air fried pork bites. If substituting, monitor the internal temperature closely for best results.

    Top Tip

    I don't suggest over crowding the pan by adding more chicken. If you need more than 4 servings I would either use a larger pan and double the recipe or double the recipe and use two pans.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

    Yes! While this recipe uses pan seared chicken breast, boneless skinless chicken thighs work beautifully in this creamy garlic chicken skillet. Just adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

    How do I keep the chicken juicy in a creamy garlic chicken recipe?

    The key to juicy chicken is properly searing it first and not overcooking it. A good sear locks in flavor and moisture before the chicken simmers in the creamy garlic sauce, creating tender, flavorful bites in this one pan creamy garlic chicken.

    Can I make this creamy garlic chicken ahead of time?

    Absolutely. This 30 minute creamy garlic chicken skillet reheats well and makes great leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and slowly reheat to keep the creamy garlic sauce smooth and delicious.

    Description

    These Air Fryer Chicken Bites are an easy, quick way to make juicy, bite size chicken using boneless chicken breast in the air fryer. This air fryer chicken bites recipe delivers tender chicken with a perfectly cooked outside, making it a go to air fryer chicken recipe for busy weeknights. 


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 - 1.5 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, 2-3 breasts
    • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
    • 1 tsp Salt
    • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
    • 1 tsp Onion Powder
    • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
    • ½ tsp Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • 2 tsp Brown Sugar
    • 2 tsp Cornstarch

    Instructions

    Cut your chicken breasts into two thick chunks each and then thinly slice each.

    Put the sliced chicken into a mixing bowl and pour the oil over it. Stir to coat the chicken in oil.

    In a small bowl mix together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, brown sugar and cornstarch.

    Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken and then stir to coat the chicken.

    Place the chicken in your air fryer basket in an even layer.

    Air fry at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. At 6 minutes it's very important to break the chicken apart with a fork and shake the basket so you get nice pieces of chicken bites.

    Serve plain or with my Sweet and Spicy Sauce.

    Top Tip

    It is very important that you break the chicken bites apart at 6 minutes in the cooking process. If you don't do that you will have a stuck together lump of chicken and the bites won't brown properly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, air fryer chicken bites are a healthy option since they're made with lean protein and cooked with minimal oil. This makes them a quick, protein packed meal or snack that fits well into a balanced, healthy diet.
