Air Fryer Ranch Chicken Bites

Air Fryer Ranch Chicken Bites

Recipe by lutzflcat from allrecipes.com

Appetizer 50 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1.5 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Combine chicken, avocado oil, white vinegar, ranch powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir well until the chicken is coated, cover, and marinate in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes, but not much longer, as the texture will become mushy.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place chicken cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, not touching.
  • Air fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, flipping once when the edges start to brown, being sure not to overcook, 8 to 11 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Your cooking time may vary depending on the brand and size of your air fryer, and you may need to cook in batches.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with Cheddar cheese. Return to the air fryer until cheese melts, for about 30 seconds. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
