Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.

  • Add in cornstarch and mix again until chicken is evenly coated.
  • Place chicken in one layer in air fryer basket. You can cook in multiple batches if you need. Air fry for 7 minutes.
  • While chicken cooks, add buffalo sauce to a large clean mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, add Greek yogurt, vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, carefully add it to the bowl with the buffalo sauce. Using a large spoon, stir the chicken bites in with the buffalo sauce, evenly coating the chicken with the sauce.
  • Place the chicken back in the air fryer basket and air fry for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Ensure chicken is fully cooked (it should no longer be pink in the middle). Serve with sliced veggies and the prepared dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To bake in the oven, follow the same steps, baking chicken on a parchment lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Then, coat them in buffalo sauce and bake for an additional five minutes.
  • Make this BBQ chicken by subbing BBQ sauce for buffalo sauce.
  • Rice vinegar can be used in place of apple cider vinegar.
