Nacho chicken bites from the hot air fryer
When I wanted to have another movie night with my girls, the question of snacks naturally came up. I wanted simple finger food so that it would be easy to snack on while watching a movie or at a party. Of course, you still want to offer your friends something new or special. While looking for finger food recipes, I stumbled across chicken bites and thought to myself, why don't I just bread them with nachos instead of normal breadcrumbs? You can find the recipe here.
