tips and tricks to make the juciest chicken breast in your air fryer. It is a must try!
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut to make four equal width thinner pieces
- Avocado oil spray
- 1 tb salt, I use Celtic salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- First, make the spice rub by combining all the spices in a small bowl, mix to combine and set aside.
- Then, you want to make sure you preheat the air fryer for at least 5 minutes prior to cooking so it is nice, hot, and ready to go. I simply just turn on my air fryer on 390F for 5 minutes.
- Once you cut the chicken breast into thinner pieces, lay it onto a cutting board. To both sides of the chicken add some avocado oil spray, rub it in, and then sprinkle on the spice rub, spread it all on the chicken with your fingers.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to do this in batches, I do two chicken breast slices at a time. Lay chicken in the preheated air fryer and cook on 390F for 4 minutes.
- Then flip the chicken over and cook and additional 3-4min.
- Make sure internal temp is at least 155F but preferably not more, chicken will continue to rise in temp one removed from the air fryer and will reach 165F.
- Rest for a few minutes slice and enjoy!
