Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast substitution: chicken thighs for a juicier option
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil substitution: avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme substitution: rosemary

Method
 

  1. Prepare your chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Season: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper together. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until they are well-coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Setting the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) is essential for that crispy finish.
  4. Cook: Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Check for doneness: Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C). If not, continue to cook for an additional few minutes.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it with a side of steamed veggies or a fresh salad!
