Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for air frying 4 chicken breasts
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: additional seasonings like thyme, rosemary, or cayenne for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preparation: Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier exterior.
- Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can add more seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air Frying: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cooking Time: Cook the chicken breasts at 360°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the exterior is crispy and golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Once done, let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures juicy chicken.
- Serve: Serve the air fried chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air fried chicken breasts!
