Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15-20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the marinated chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer for more flavor; shake the basket while cooking for even crisping. You can use shrimp or tofu as alternatives; add chili flakes for spice.
