Healthier Bang Bang Chicken in the Air Fryer

Healthier Bang Bang Chicken in the Air Fryer delivers crisp, golden bites with a mildly spicy, tangy-sweet kick.

Healthier Bang Bang Chicken in the Air Fryer
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Whisk the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon hot sauce together in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, mix the flour, tapioca starch, seasoned salt, garlic granules, and cumin. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place them in the air fryer basket in batches without overcrowding, and lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Cook in the preheated air fryer, shaking the basket after 5 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    Stir together the Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, and 1 teaspoon hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve the chicken with the sauce.
