Learn the secret to the juiciest chicken breast in your air fryer. Use this quick, easy recipe to air fry chicken for any of your favorite recipes (salads, wraps, and more)! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ CLICK FOR RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
✅AIR FRYER CHICKEN BREAST INGREDIENTS:
➤2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
➤1/2 tsp kosher salt
➤2 tsp olive oil
➤1 tsp paprika
➤½ tsp garlic powder
➤½ tsp onion powder
➤¼ tsp black pepper
✅DIRECTIONS:
➤Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a large sheet of plastic wrap. With a rolling pin, meat mallet, or your palm, lightly pound into an even thickness.
➤To Dry Brine: Place the chicken on a plate and sprinkle all over with the kosher salt. Place in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. If you will not be dry brining, skip this step.
➤When ready to air fry: remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
➤In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper (if you did not dry brine the chicken, add the salt now)
➤Place the chicken in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the top. Toss to coat the chicken, ensuring you rub the spices evenly over both sides.
➤Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (my model takes 3 minutes to heat). Place the chicken presentation side (smooth side) down in the air fryer and let cook 6 minutes.
➤Remove the air fryer basket, then with tongs, carefully flip the chicken over. Continue cooking until the chicken registers between 155 and 160 degrees F, 2 to 8 minutes more. Chicken is considered safe to eat at 165 degrees F, but I like to remove mine a few degrees early, then let the carry over cooking finish the job. The total cook time will vary based on your model and the size of your chicken. Smaller breasts (about 6 ounces each) will need only around 8 minutes total; larger ones may need 14 or more. Check the chicken often towards the end to monitor its progress. DO NOT overcook or it will be dry.
➤Remove the chicken to a plate. Cover and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy!

Keep making good recipes, no need for the silly reactions or antics.
Where did she pull the rolling pin out of?
Thanks for this informative & fun video. This was the exact recipe I was looking for!
It's fast & easy to make as well as healthy.
Thanks!
Madam, any substitutes for onion powder? Does ginger garlic paste work instead?
Great video are you cooking on air fry, roast, or bake 🙏
what if you don't have arms asking for a friend
I pat dry my chicken add seasoning & a little oil, then put it in the fridge
Tried to follow instructions up until the point I realised I didn’t have wrists so I could not follow
What air fryer is this
You are very entertaining..I like you a lot
Tried this recipe today and it was Awesome, thanks
made this recipe and got covid
Thank you so much for the recipe! This was the best air fryer chicken I've ever made.
You’re very charming! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Mine was so salty :((((((. I think I added to much to the brine. If I want to use a wet marinade are the steps the same?
Annoying cunt. Look at me Look at me.
Use pineapple for red meat brine… you’re welcome!
Thank you Erin! This looks simple and delicious. I'm going to try this tomorrow!
What if you don’t have hands and arms because of a horrific accident? What do I use?
What the heck are American chickens pumped up with? Those breasts are huge.
You didn’t say the temp to cook or anything
2:30 – 6 minutes but the timer says different haha
I followed this recipe and this is by far the best chicken i’ve cooked
you’re a life saver
Does soy sauce work in place of salt?
If you cut the stupid face pulling it would have been a great vid, instead a dislike.
You are totally mad but fantastic and lovely. Great video cheers.
Looks good & sounds good!
Did you clean the tongs before taking out the cooked chicken? If not it's a good way of getting salmonella poisoning.
First, I would like to apologize for my comment/review from 6 months ago. I stumbled upon this recipe again and unwillingly, gave it another try. Made one breast using the wet brine method, one just sprinkling a little kosher salt on top. Olive oiled and seasoned as described exactly, pulled both breasts at 155°, let them rest and had my socks blown off! I prefer the wet brine method. I have so many amazing recipes for my Ninja Foodi but chicken breasts have eluded me…until now. Amazing! I am at a loss for words how grateful I am for your “one simple trick”
Thank you! ❤
u have big brea
6-12 or 15 minutes…whatever temp is cool only the minutes matter. Thank you for a useless video.
Whoa were was that rolling pin
