Preparation Steps

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix thoroughly.
  4. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  6. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry the chicken bites for approximately 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  8. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  9. Let rest for a few minutes and garnish with fresh parsley before serving with lemon wedges.
