I was originally chopping chicken tenders into long, skinny shapes ideal for frying. As I trimmed the sides to achieve the perfect shape, I ended up with lots of tiny chicken pieces left over. Initially, I considered throwing them away, but then my husband suggested, &#8220;Why not season these pieces and fry them in the air fryer?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I seasoned these small chicken pieces with a simple mix of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then cooked them in the air fryer. The result was incredibly delicious, a batch of little chicken bites that were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It&#8217;s perfect for a snack or a side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you love more crispness with your chicken bites, you add Bread crumbs with the seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides cook evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5\"><\/span>Step 5:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).

Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides cook evenly.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-1034\" class=\"direction-step\">To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C). The exterior should be golden brown and crunchy.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-1242\" class=\"direction-step\">Once cooked, serve your crispy chicken bites immediately while they're hot and crispy.
