Ingredients
- Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts – You will need 2 pounds cut into bite size pieces.
- Lemon Juice – 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Olive Oil – 1/2 a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- Garlic Powder & Onion Powder – 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon on onion powder.
- 5 Pepper Sea Salt – You only need a little bit because of the sodium content in the bacon, but I used 1/2 a teaspoon.
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning – 1/2 a teaspoon to enhance the lemon flavor.
- Bacon – You will need 3 slices of bacon of choice, cut into smaller pieces to wrap around your chicken bites.
How To Make It
- Combine the chicken bites, lemon juice, olive oil, and seasonings in a large mixing bowl. Marinate overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Wrap random pieces of the bacon around the chicken. Note that a piece does not go around every piece. Less than half of your chicken bites will have a wrapped around it.
- Place your chicken bites in the air fryer, spray with non-stick spray, and air fry at 400 for 20 minutes. You will need to do 2-3 separate batches depending on how big your air fryer is for the chicken to cook evenly.
- Top with chives and a squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy!!

Air Fryer I Use
So I actually own three different air fryers and my favorite one by far is by the brand Ninja. Not only does this air fryer cook food perfectly, but it can also be a pressure cooker at the same time! This is great if you don’t have much kitchen space. You can find the Ninja Stainless Steel Foodi 8qt. 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer here.

How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftover buffalo chicken bites in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When you are ready to enjoy your leftovers, just pop them in the microwave for a minute or so. If you want them to be more crispy, you can also reheat them in the oven. Place your chicken in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes, or until completely warmed.
