Ingredients
  

Chicken Bites
  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk for marinating
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix store-bought or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces and buttermilk. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix together panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Coating and Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  3. Place the coated chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
