Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, cornstarch, and salt; the second with whisked eggs; and the third with panko breading.
  3. Coat each chicken piece in the flour mixture, egg wash, and then panko breading, pressing lightly for adherence.
  4. Arrange breaded chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  6. Toss the cooked bites with buffalo sauce in a large bowl.
  7. For extra crispiness, return bites to the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
