Air-Fried Honey BBQ Chicken Bites with a Crispy Coating
Crispy, honey BBQ chicken bites are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal that can be cooked in the air fryer. This recipe features juicy chicken breast pieces coated in a flavorful seasoning mix, crunchy cornflakes, and a sticky honey BBQ glaze.
To make the chicken bites, start by seasoning the chicken pieces with Old Bay seasoning, onion granules, garlic granules, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Then, dip the seasoned chicken in a beaten egg mixed with hot sauce and coat them with crushed cornflakes. Place the coated chicken in the air fryer and cook at 190°C for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the honey BBQ glaze by melting butter in a pan and adding BBQ sauce, honey, and water. Simmer the mixture for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Once the chicken is cooked, dip the chicken bites in the honey BBQ glaze or brush it on for a sticky and sweet finish.
This recipe is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal or snack, as the air fryer ensures that the chicken bites are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The honey BBQ glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the seasoned chicken perfectly.
