Description

Enjoy perfectly cooked air fryer chicken breast that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This dish features simple ingredients like paprika and garlic for a flavorful quick dinner, making it a great choice for any day!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 650 g (1.4 lb) chicken breast, cut in half lengthways
  • 6 tsp paprika
  • 6 tsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 tsp garlic granules
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 200℃/400F while preparing the chicken.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways to create two thin fillets per breast.
  • Combine all the spices in a bowl to make the coating, then coat the chicken pieces thoroughly.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the chicken in a single layer inside.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning over halfway, until cooked through. Always check the internal temperature to ensure doneness.

Notes

For best results, slice the chicken evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preference.
Using an instant-read thermometer, chicken should reach an internal temperature of 75℃/165F for safety.
