In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and gently toss until well coated. For air fryer cooking, arrange the chicken in a single layer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, toss the chicken in half a cup of the prepared Bang Bang sauce.
