Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast about 4 large breasts
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut your chicken breasts in half so with each breast you end up with two thinner pieces.
- Mix together the sugar, spices, salt and pepper in a small dish.
- Season each chicken breast on both sides and pat into the breast.
- Spray your air fryer basket with oil and add the chicken in one layer. Drizzle the top with the olive oil.
- Air fry for 10-14 minutes, flipping halfway, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit - exact cook time will depend on how thick your chicken breasts were.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for about 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
You may need to cook your chicken in two batches, depending on how big your air fryer is. You want to ensure the chicken breasts are in one single layer to ensure even cooking, so if there is too much overlap, just do two batches!
