Ingredients

3 lbs. Chicken Breasts (cubed) (boneless and skinless)
2 Tbsp Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tsp Dried Oregano
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Kosher Salt
¼ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
½ Cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Start by cubing the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry any moisture on the chicken with a paper towel.
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper to create the spice blend.
Toss the cubed chicken in avocado oil until evenly coated, then add the spice blend and toss again to ensure the chicken is well coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the seasoned chicken cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken cubes.
Once the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the air fryer. In a large bowl, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the hot chicken bites, allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy these flavorful and crispy chicken bites!
