Air Fried Chicken Breast

Ingredients


Instructions


  1. Brine the chicken breasts in salt water for at least 30 minutes. The secret to getting the chicken juicy is letting it come to room temperature in the brine before you start cooking.

  2. Coat the chicken in olive oil, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. I completely cover the chicken in spices. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

  3. Turn the air fryer to 375. This is the optimal temperature for air frying chicken.

  4. Place the chicken in the air fryer. The cook time depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts. For medium-sized (6oz.) chicken breasts, 12 minutes is fine. Always check the meat's internal temperature/color before consuming.

  5. Flip the chicken breasts halfway through the cook time.
