How easy is this lemon chicken recipe when all you have to do is place chicken bites in a lemon marinade, refrigerate for around 30 minutes then air fry for around 15 minutes?

This recipe is perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to turn on the oven.

No air fryer? No problem, these can be grilled outside or even baked in the oven. No matter which way you cook them, the main thing to remember is chicken must register 165 degrees in the thickest part using an internal instant-read thermometer.

You can find them in just about any department store or online.

This chicken is delicious the way it is or served with any dipping sauces you prefer.

Great to top salads, as an appetizer for parties or even to bring on a picnic or potluck!
