Method
- Cut each chicken breast into thin, flat pieces. For example, if a one-pound package gives you two chicken breasts, cut each into 3-4 thin pieces. Pat the chicken breasts dry if they have a lot of moisture.
- In a bowl, toss the spices together. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken pieces. Add the oil and toss thoroughly to coat the chicken.
- Preheat your air fryer. Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket in an even layer, allowing space for air circulation. Air fry at 415 degrees F (213 degrees C) for 10-13 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Let the chicken rest for a moment. Slice and enjoy. It should be crispy on the outside, flavorful, and juicy.
Notes
Salt adjustment: For 1 pound of chicken, use 3/4 teaspoon table salt. For 1.5 pounds, use 1 teaspoon table salt. If using coarse kosher salt, use 1 teaspoon for 1 pound of chicken.
Marinating: You can marinate the chicken with spices for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Add cornstarch just before air frying.
Seasoning Alternative: For a quick option, use 1 tablespoon of McCormick Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning blend per pound of chicken, in place of the paprika, salt, onion, and garlic powders. Add cornstarch and brown sugar.
