Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. Add the chicken pieces to the glaze and toss until fully coated.
  4. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer.
