1 pound chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breasts — cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil — or avocado oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Rinse the chicken and pat it very dry with paper towels . Cut into 1-inch pieces and add to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken and toss until every piece is coated.
Working in batches so you don't crowd the basket, add about half the chicken bites in a single layer. Cook at 380°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F.
Pile them on a platter with your favorite dipping sauce and watch them disappear.
