→ Main Ingredients
08 -
Boneless skinless chicken breasts - 1 pound
09 -
Avocado oil - 2 teaspoons
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut each chicken breast into thin, flat pieces - not bite-sized, but more like thin cutlets. For a one-pound package with two breasts, you'll want 3-4 pieces per breast. Pat them dry with paper towels.
02 -
Mix all your spices together in a bowl. Put your chicken pieces in another bowl, sprinkle with the seasoning mix, and drizzle with oil. Use your hands or tongs to coat everything really well.
03 -
Get your air fryer nice and hot by preheating it. Lay your seasoned chicken pieces in the basket with a bit of space between them for good air flow.
04 -
Cook at 415°F for about 10 minutes, or up to 13 minutes for thicker pieces. You're aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 -
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into those juicy pieces. They should be beautifully crispy outside and tender inside!
# Notes:
01 -
Table salt works best for coating because it's finer than kosher salt.
02 -
For 1.5 pounds of chicken, increase all seasonings by 1.5 times.
