Ingredients

• 1 package of TGI Fridays Boneless Chicken Bites (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)

• ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)

• ¼ cup buffalo sauce or BBQ sauce (optional, for tossing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the chicken bites start crisping up immediately when placed in the air fryer.

Step 2: Prepare the Boneless Chicken Bites

1. Remove the frozen boneless chicken bites from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

2. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to enhance crispiness.

3. If desired, sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika before air frying for extra flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken Bites

• Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through for even crisping.

• For extra crunch, cook an additional 1-2 minutes at 400°F at the end.

• The chicken bites should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside remains tender and hot.

Step 4: Toss & Serve

• Transfer the crispy chicken bites to a bowl and toss with buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, or honey sriracha glaze for extra flavor (optional).

• Serve immediately with a side of ranch, blue cheese, or honey mustard.

How to Serve These Boneless Chicken Bites

• Classic Game-Day Snack: Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and ranch dressing.

• Buffalo Style: Toss in buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dip.

• Sweet & Spicy: Coat with honey sriracha sauce or Korean-style gochujang glaze.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

• For an extra crispy texture, spray with a little extra cooking spray before air frying.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

• Want extra heat? Sprinkle with cayenne pepper or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.
