Ingredients

Scale
CHICKEN
- 2 lbs. chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into 1″ cubes
- 2 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
BANG BANG SAUCE
- 1 cup mayonnaise, can sub for full fat greek yogurt for more protein
- 1/2 cup sweet chili
- 3 tablespoon Sriracha
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C)
- In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili, Sriracha, honey, soy sauce and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, season the chicken with cooking oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are coated.
- Portion 1/4 of the sauce into a serving bowl. The remaining 3/4 of the sauce will be used as marinade to brush on the chicken. It’s important to keep the serving sauce separate from the marinade sauce since redipping the brush after contact with the raw chicken will cause cross contamination.
- Place the chicken bites into one layer of your air fryer tray. Generously brush the marinade sauce onto the chicken. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6 minutes. Flip the chicken, rebrush the marinade and cook for another 6 minutes or until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve with warm rice and dip the chicken bites into the delicious bang bang sauce!
