Ingredients
- 1½ lbs Springer Mountain Farms 4 oz chicken breast portions
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1¾ tsp salt
- 1¼ tsp paprika
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.
3. Add the olive oil to the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken and rub it in well to cover all sides.
4. Brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
5. Place the chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
6. Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes.
7. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Remove any chicken that reaches 165°F. Return any undercooked pieces to the air fryer and continue cooking in 3-minute intervals until fully cooked.
8. Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
For best results, use chicken breasts of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
Chicken can be marinated ahead of time in the seasoning mix and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes.
