Method

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the Ninja Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking

In a separate bowl, coat the marinated chicken pieces with Parmesan cheese.
Place the coated chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

Serve the chicken bites hot and crispy straight from the air fryer with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

If you have leftovers, let the chicken bites cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
