Avoid overcrowding; you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.<\/li>\n<li>Air fry the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. (The internal temperature should reach 165\u00b0F or 74\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li>While the chicken is cooking, combine the honey, hot sauce, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Once the chicken bites are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken bites and toss to coat evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Serve the hot honey crispy chicken bites immediately, with extra sauce on the side if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Nutritional per serving:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Calories: 424; Protein: 49.6g; Fat: 7.4g; Carbs: 38.4g<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Print This Section 1 End --><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/high-protein-spicy-chicken-bites\/\">The Hot Honey Chicken Bites That Are Perfect For Summer Nights<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\">MyFitnessPal Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spicy, sweet, and savory: meet your new snack of the summer.<br \/>\nThe post The Hot Honey Chicken Bites That Are Perfect For Summer Nights appeared first on MyFitnessPal Blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":""},"categories":[20,1,21,22,19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18812"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18812"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18812\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18816,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18812\/revisions\/18816"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
