For the Chicken
  • 1 lb bite-sized chicken pieces Cut into uniform pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For coating the chicken

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
