Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Bites

Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Bites

Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Bites is one of the easiest and tastiest recipes ever!

I first tried bang bang sauce about a year ago, and now I will put that creamy, sweet, spicy sauce on just about anything!

My son didn’t think he would like these and asked for something else, he actually ate while I was making these.

That turned into “well…I guess I will try one”…and ended with him scarfing down a bunch of these.

How to Make Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken Bites

You’ll start by setting up a breading station like this.

A beaten egg in one bowl, flour seasoned with kosher salt and pepper in another bowl.

And a pound of chicken cut into bite size pieces.

Dip the chicken into the egg first, then in the flour.

And into the air fryer basket.

Spray non stick cooking spray over top and then set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes.

Oh, and shake the basket halfway through.

As the chicken was cooking in the air fryer I made some homemade bang bang sauce…

All you do is mix together mayo, sweet Thai chili sauce, and Sriracha.

For coating the chicken bites in the sauce, I like to use a container with a lid.

The chicken bites go in with most of the bang bang sauce.

Then put the lid on and shake until evenly coated.

Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Bites with the remaining sauce for dipping!
