And it won't take more than 15 minutes to make the chicken bites in an air fryer. Since all air fryers cook slightly different timing may not be the same for all. So this recipe takes 10 - 15 minutes.
Also, you don't need to do a lot of preparation. Only thing is to marinate the chicken bites for some time so that the pieces will absorb the flavors well.

Take the breast fillet and cut it into small bite-sized chunks. Try to keep them as close in size as possible.
