Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast 10-16 ounces each, trimmed, boneless
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer to 380℉ for 5 minutes while preparing chicken breasts.
- Using a small spoon or pastry brush, brush the top of each chicken breast with maple syrup.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and salt. Divide rub equally and press on top of each chicken breast, pressing into the syrup so it is covered evenly.
- Place prepared chicken breast in the Air Fryer basket. Select chicken, making sure the temperature is 380℉. Cook time is 16-20 minutes. Be sure to flip chicken over halfway to cook evenly.
- Optional: Drain the juices from the tray and baste the chicken breast before serving.

- General Notes for cooking chicken in the airfryer:
- Storage: Store Air Fryer chicken breast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
- Store Air Fryer chicken breast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
- You can cook 4-6 oz. frozen breasts in the airfryer without thawing first, 24 minutes total--12 minutes on each side will completely cook the chicken.
- The cooking time for larger breasts will be longer, at 20 minutes. I did ten minutes on each side.
- When I make chicken in the airfryer, I use 90 seconds for each pound as a guide cooking time, and it has been pretty accurate. Sometimes chicken breasts are thicker cuts, and need another minute or two.
