Description

This Air Fryer Grilled Chicken recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to prepare juicy chicken breasts using simple seasonings and the convenient air frying method. Perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner, the chicken is coated with a blend of garlic, onion, paprika, and salt, then air fried to perfection, ensuring a tender and delicious result with minimal oil.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1½ lbs Springer Mountain Farms 4 oz chicken breast portions

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1¾ tsp salt
  • 1¼ tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and place them in a large bowl for seasoning.
  2. Mix the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika to create a flavorful seasoning mix.
  3. Coat the chicken: Pour olive oil over the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the seasoning mix on the chicken and rub it in thoroughly on all sides to ensure full flavor coverage.
  4. Prepare the air fryer: Lightly brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking during cooking.
  5. Arrange the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even air circulation.
  6. Cook: Air fry the chicken at 380°F for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip each chicken breast and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the chicken. Remove any pieces that have reached 165°F. For pieces not fully cooked, return them to the air fryer and cook in 3-minute increments until they reach the safe internal temperature.
  8. Rest before slicing: Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken breasts are the same size for even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste preference or add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness; chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Resting the chicken after cooking helps retain juiciness.
  • Leftover chicken can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
