3 Air Fryer Snack Recipes: Fried Bologna Bites, Chicken Popcorn, and Mini Choripán

Prepare the fried bites: layer slices of bologna and mozzarella, folding them to form a stack approximately half an inch thick.

Cut the stack of cold cuts in half, restack them, and cut into small squares.

Bread the cubes: first dredge them in all-purpose flour, then in the lightly beaten egg, and finally coat them completely with breadcrumbs.

Lightly brush the breaded bites with a little oil or olive oil and place them in the preheated Air Fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

For the chicken popcorn, season the chicken cubes with squeezed lemon juice, soy sauce, a drizzle of honey, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with the smoked paprika.

Coat the chicken cubes in the cornstarch and paprika mixture and arrange them in the Air Fryer basket. Lightly brush with oil or olive oil.

Air fry in the preheated Air Fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken popcorn is crispy.

For the mini choripán, remove the casings from the sausages and mix the meat in a bowl with cream cheese, chopped onion, chopped tomato, chopped olives, salt, and black pepper.

Cut the small dinner rolls lengthwise into a boat shape, without discarding the side pieces (which can be toasted and used as extra breadcrumbs).

Fill each opened roll with shredded mozzarella, and then top with the seasoned sausage mixture.

Sprinkle oregano over the filling and air fry in the preheated Air Fryer at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 15 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
