Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds Springer Mountain Farms perfectly portioned 4 oz chicken breast
1 tablespoon Olive oil
¾ teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Onion powder
1 ¾ teaspoon Salt
1 ¼ teaspoon Paprika

Instructions

Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in a large bowl.
Add all of the seasonings to a small bowl and mix together.
Pour the olive oil into the bowl and toss to make sure the chicken is all coated in the oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken and rub the chicken to make sure that it is evenly coated in the spice mix.
Brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with additional olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts into the basket, making sure they’re not touching. You want them spaced out slightly.
Air fry the chicken at 380 ℉ for ten minutes.
Flip the chicken over and cook the chicken for another ten minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken at the ten minute mark. Remove any chicken that is 165 ℉.
Because some pieces may be larger, not all may be done. Cook the chicken three minutes at a time until it reaches 165 ℉.
Allow the chicken to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Tips:

Make sure to not overcrowd your air fryer. You don’t want the chicken touching. This will allow the air to circulate so it browns. If they’re piled up on each other you risk the chicken steaming. It’s better to cook in batches.
Make extra of the seasoning mix. It not only works well all all cuts of chicken but is also delicious on pork and vegetables.
An instant-read thermometer is your best friend. Make sure to temp check after 20 minutes of cooking.
