Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
In a separate bowl, mix buffalo sauce and melted butter.
Toss the cooked chicken bites in the buffalo sauce mixture until fully coated.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for the crispiest results.
