Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb chicken breast
- oil
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season or marinate them according to your preference.
- 2Preheat the air fryer to 356°F (356°F). For every additional 100 g of chicken, increase the temperature by 41°F.
- 3If using oil, lightly brush the chicken breasts with a few drops; otherwise, skip this step.
- 4Place the whole chicken breasts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
- 5Cook for 10 minutes at the preheated temperature.
- 6When the timer sounds, open the fryer and flip the breasts over quickly to ensure even browning.
- 7Cook for an additional 10 minutes at the same temperature, or until the internal temperature reaches 167°F (165°F).
- 8Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and transfer to a cutting board.
- 9Cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute.
- 10Slice the chicken against the grain and serve hot, optionally with a side of vegetables or salad.
