Asian Air Fryer Chicken Bites
A quick, easy, healthy low-carb appetizer recipe, these easy Asian Air Fryer Chicken Bites are simple to make at a moment's notice for a crowd-pleasing bite!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup*
- 5 Tbsp coconut aminos**
- 1 Tbsp sriracha optional
- 4 Tbsp rice vinegar
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Stir together the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. There should be around 1 cup of marinade. You'll use part of this mixture to marinate the chicken and part of it as dipping sauce for when the chicken bites are cooked
- Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces and transfer it to a zip lock bag or sealable container. Pour in ⅔ cup of the marinade. Seal the bag tightly and move everything around until the pieces of chicken are well coated in marinade. Marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator, ideally several hours (up to 24 hours).
- When you’re ready to make the chicken bites, preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer half of the chicken (or all of it if your air fryer is big enough), to the air fryer basket, creating a single layer. Air fry at 375 for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. I own a smaller air fryer so for me this takes two batches.
- Serve these Asian chicken bites with the reserved dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
*If you follow a low-carb diet or a keto diet, replace the pure maple syrup with 2 tablespoons of sugar-free sweetener (just be sure the sauce ingredients are mixed well to dissolve the sweetener), or omit it altogether.
**You can use liquid aminos or soy sauce in place of coconut aminos.
Store any leftover Asian Air Fryer Chicken Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
