Air Fryer Herbed Buttermilk Roast Chicken Breast
Description
The Air Fryer Herbed Buttermilk Roast Chicken Breast relies on a buttermilk soak to tenderize the meat and deliver mild tanginess. The addition of dried herbs such as parsley, chive, and dill alongside onion and garlic powders creates a balanced flavor profile that permeates the chicken before cooking.
The cooking process begins at a lower temperature to start rendering fat from the skin, then increases to achieve a golden, crisp exterior while monitoring internal temperature to ensure doneness without drying. The skin-on, bone-in cut helps keep the meat moist during air frying.
Resting the chicken after cooking allows juices to redistribute. Slicing the meat off the bone into thick pieces facilitates serving and portion control, making it convenient for meals.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lbs, large, bone-in, skin-on, split
- 1 cup buttermilk 1% fat
- 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley dried
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chive fresh or dried
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dill dried
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- olive oil spray form
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over, covering completely. Set chicken at room temperature at least 20 minutes or refrigerated up to 4 hours.
- Meanwhile in a bowl combine the remaining spices.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then place skin side up into the air fryer.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the top and let it stand 5 minutes until it soaks in.
- Spray the top of the chicken with oil. Cook at 300F for 10 minutes then increase the heat to 350F and cook until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 160F, and the chicken is golden in color, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest 10 minutes. Then cut the meat off the bone and cut into thick slices for serving.
