Instructions
- Marinating the chicken is optional but recommended. If you have 30 minutes, rub the meat with oil and spices and marinate on the counter. If you have more time, marinate in the fridge (5-6 hours) and bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer as required by its instructions. My air fryer needs to be preheated for 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, rub the chicken breasts with the oil and spices, if not already marinated.
- Increase the heat to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook: Place the chicken into the basket and cook on the first side for 7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Check with a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should be 74 degrees Celsius/ 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Larger pieces of about 220 - 250 g/ 7.8 – 8.8 oz will need 1-2 extra minutes.
- Remove immediately and let rest for 3-4 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Weighing between 180 g- 230 g/ 6 – 8 oz.
- You can use a ready-made spice mixture for chicken or another spice mixture you love. Try lemon pepper, curry powder, Cajun seasoning, and so on. Use 1-2 teaspoons as required by the size of the meat pieces and always check how hot the mixture is. If it's very hot, use to taste.
- If using hot paprika powder, use to taste, depending on how hot the powder is.
