How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Breasts
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
olive or avocado oil spray
INSTRUCTIONS
Pound the thicker end of each chicken breast to even it out so they will cook more evenly. Pat chicken dry with paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Spritz chicken with oil and rub to coat. Season both sides of chicken with the seasoning.
Place chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, no overlapping. Cook at 380°F/193°C
for about 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through and instant read thermometer inserted into center of thickest part reads 155°F/68.3°C.
Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes to finish cooking, then slice and serve.

I’m an air fryer newbie so I was a little apprehensive about doing chicken. I tried this and the chicken turned brilliantly. Your tips do exactly what it says on the tin. Great job.
I'm so happy to hear this! Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Im a 70 yo man who is a bachelor from Sunday morning to Friday afternoon. I am putting my trust and confidence in your videos. If there are any tips or tricks for beginners, let me know. Thanx
Hi Mike, you just might enjoy this air fryer beginner recipes (ruclips.net/video/DSyKs0oQPPM/видео.html) and these ticks and tricks (ruclips.net/video/75ntIG0j8lc/видео.html)
I made this! It was perfect! That aluminum foil hack rocks! It's such a crucial move to keep it extra tasty moist. I tried without the foil and it was a bit dry.
Sweet! Glad it worked great for you!
Thank You!!! I just got my air fryer last week. This was my FIRST. try at a meal! I prepped by watching your beginner video and a few more over a few day! Very delish! Thank You!!!
Yay!! Way to go!
I’ve owned my air fryer for at least a year. It sat, unopened for all that time, till last night. My first attempt at chicken (boneless thighs) wasn’t bad. Then I found your channel. Thank goodness!
Kathy, you are a godsend.
You are so sweet! Glad to have you here and I hope I can add more value to your air frying life! :)
Same I’m doing chicken filets! I’ve had it boxed for a couple of months but after my first try I decided to find a video on how to do it 😅
@@TwntyTwo hope it went well!
How.. how? How do you buy something pricy & new and then just not unpack it? I could never lmao
@@phimtown Same
Thanks so much for this how to video. I cooked my first chicken breasts in the air fryer at the settings you recommended and my husband loved the results. No more tough, dried out chicken for us. And a bonus was that the using an air fryer instead of the oven didn't leave our kitchen feeling uncomfortably hot.
Yay! Way to go, Marguerite!
10mins for chicken? I’ve been wasting my time using the oven and cleaning a pan. Ok I need an air frier
Welcome to a new way of life!
It has changed my life! I never thought I'd say that about a kitchen appliance lol
I’m on my way to sams to get me one now
Last week I saw an ad for an air fryer and planned on ordering it but realized that I don't have 12x13x15" to spare on the counter. Just a couple of days ago my neighbors son knocks on my door and asks "Do you know anyone that wants an air fryer?". His dad picked up a brand new, and smaller toastmaster air fryer, brand new in the box somewhere and decided that one of the neighbors might use it. It fits the spot beside my toaster and coffee machine perfectly. Tonight, my first air fryer attempt. I have chicken breasts. Wish me luck!
@@jackburnell3209 how did your chicken turn out bro?
Super excited to try this tomorrow!!! Would never have thought of pulling the chicken out to rest and finish cooking. Brilliant!
You are my AirFryer Muse....so happy I found you!
😂 Glad you're here! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Amazing tips. My Cosori Air Fryer should be coming tomorrow. Being a bachelor who lives alone, I’ve never been big on cooking, sticking to mainly microwave meals, 😞. Hopefully your videos and tips will breath new life into simple but delicious cooking. Thank you.
Hi Chris! I think you will love using an air fryer! It just makes cooking a little more fun (and still fast!).
thank you for the tips..you are a wonderful person to make videos to help people like me avoid cooking mistakes
That's very kind of you, Jerry! And glad they are helpful!
To copy another commenter, you are my air fryer muse! I recently upgraded from a small fryer to your Cosori model after doing my research and I’m very happy with it. Clean up is so easy.
I cooked 3 chicken breasts tonight with pretty much the same seasonings. Followed all instructions - because I’m that clueless at cooking meat - and they came out perfectly juicy and yummy. Foil trick - yay! Thank you, Kathy. Thank you.
Yay! You are sooo welcome! Glad you're loving it!
You’re so awesome. Your videos are amazing and you explain/demonstrate everything so well. I just found your channel yesterday. I’ve already watched about 10-12 of your videos. I’m currently at work watching this one. I definitely subscribed. I’m going to make these later for dinner. I appreciate your work into your videos. Hope you have a great day.
Thank you so much! Glad to have you here!
Turned out PERFECT! Thank you so much. I stumbled onto your channel about 3 (?) months ago and within a week bought a Cosori and LOVE IT. ALL your recipes have turned our PERFECT!
SO GLAD. Thank you :)
I just finished cooking this chicken following your instructions .. all I’m going to say is this is the best tasting chicken I’ve ever made ! Thank you !
Yay! Glad to hear!
I love getting tips from a great mom who’s really got it together👍🏻😉All your recipes rock. I use the instant pot air fryer lid. I had a crummy air fryer that had started to shed its non stick coating. I pitched it and got an air fryer lid for my instant pot. Thanks for the wonderful recipes. They have changed meal time for me to a happy place🥰 This is how I’m cooking chicken breasts from now on.
I love this! Thanks Deb! Although I 100% do NOT have it all together. LOL - we're all a hot mess, right?!
@@empoweredcooks you make it look like you do! You’re the best at what you do, in my book.
@@debc7341 aw, thanks Deb!
Thank you. The thermometer and pulling out a little early and letting it rest was very helpful!
I'm trying the chicken tips soon!
Love your videos! Easy. Short. and Delicious!
You are a good teacher. Thank you.
Thanks Richard! ❤️
I love this ! Chicken turns out so tender and juicy! Thank you for your video
love to watch your vlogs here in philippines..ive learned a lot of cooking tips..i wish i could have that amazing air fryer..
Hack # 3 is so beautiful 🏆
My family loved this recipe thank you!
Excellent video, thank you. I learned so much. I am about to try it, so I’ll let you know how it comes out.
I just got an air fryer and almost used the pam oil spray before I saw your warning! So glad I watched your video, thanks! :D
So glad to have been helpful! If you don't have a sprayer yet, you could just put some good oil on a paper towel and rub it inside the basket.
@@empoweredcooks Oh good idea. Thanks again for the tip!
You bet!
I was about to do the same thing
Glad you found me then! ❤️
I am trying it today. Looks great!
This is absolutely the best tasting chicken. I love the spice combination. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You are so welcome! Thx for subscribing too! :)
The chicken was way beyond expectations! Thank you
Yay! Glad you enjoyed!
Working on some now they look awesome thank you for the tips
Still the best video on the topic, thank you! 😊
Nice! I haven't used my air fryer for substantial protein like chicken or steak. I wasn't convinced the results would be good. But it is nice to now know that I can save myself from freezing outside in single digit temps while grilling. I'll definitely try it this week.
Oh yes! You'll love it!
One of my favorite recipes is Dijon Roasted Chicken & Carrots by a Sweet Pea Chef. I’m going to try it in the air fryer tonight using your tips & tricks for a quicker, cooler preparation.
Just made them using your recipe and hacks. Excellent. I never thought of letting a chicken breast rest like a steak
Wow, it turned out great! Thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I think I love you for this. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING MY CHICKEN
Just found you this afternoon! Thanks to your tutorial, I cooked perfectly juicy chicken! Thank you so much! I'll be eagerly pursuing the rest of your videos for ideas. My air fryer is basically my only cooking appliance.🤣
WELCOME! You've come to the right place! :)
If I had to have just one appliance the airfryer would be it hands down.
Do u pay for the comments
@@maximilianorobalin8756 Yup! A juicy steak once in a while....after ten 👍! Interested? (Are U a competing YT chef? Gud luck!!)
Found your channel today and made this recipe! My hubby said "best chicken breast in a long time!"
😋 so happy to hear this!

Woo hoo! Enjoy your air fryer! ❤️
You are the best. Thank you for all your great work. Bravo❤️
Wow, thank you!
Nice! Great info and not a lot of useless gabbing 👍 Helpful and to the point!
Thank you
Yummy! Nicely done cook. I use a Smartro temp gauge!
Thank you!
I really appreciate this video. I’ve been using PAM olive spray and I noticed my non stick coating coming off. I didn’t know the two were related. Luckily it’s only a $40 Costco unit (which has worked very well).
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Just cooked chicken in airfrier and it turned really good.
I followed your recipe and both my husband and I really liked it. Thanks!
Great to hear!
FANTASTIC!! I love using my smoker but...it is cold out side and, well, NOPE! lol The airfryer is my alternative. This was wonderful. Thank you.
Made yesterday using your instructions - best chicken breast ever!
Thank you!
Just tried this. Awesome 👍🏾
Wow it turn out wonderful!! Chicken delicious
Tried it and my husband gave me a score of 8/10 bc I didn’t put seasoning on the other side 😂
Thanks for sharing! Also!! Love your makeup!
😆 oh man... NEXT TIME total 10/10! And THANKS! That's a compliment I've never received lol 😆😆😆
Hi Cathy I've just cooked a breast of chicken in my air fryer for the first time,(I've had my fryer for a couple of years and only done basics. I watched your video and couldn't believe why I was so scared as the chicken was fantastic, even my husband(who is so fussy) loved it. Thank you, I'm hoping to get your cook book for Xmas🥰🥰xxxxx
The chicken came out so juicy and it was perfectly cooked thanks for the time and temp
Yay! So glad to hear it!
I ordered a cosori air fryer..should be arriving 1-26-21...love your videos and tips and recipes..thank you

You've got this!
Tried this tonight, perfect thank's for making this video. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! So glad you enjoyed it!
You are the Air Fryer Master! Seriously
It works great thanks
You said that in order to cook evenly, you pat the chicken down.
What I do is cut slits about 1/2 way trough the chicken from top to bottom. Cooks perfectly even throughout 👍
Hi. I have been using airfryer for a long time and have been grilling chicken too but never has my chicken breast came out so moist and tender.😋👍😋👌👌 Thank you so much for all your hacks and tips.👍Keep posting and best wishes.🙂

Welcome aboard!
This chicken recipe was awesome it was perfect cooked chicken
I love dry stringy chicken haha. Am I the only one?!
I did this once and it ternd out amazing I. Dowing it again for dinner
Awesome Recipes. Have 2 IPs 6 qt and 8 duo crisp and a Philips XL air fryer and Cosori WIFI air fryer
Wow! You go! Which do you use the most often?
@@empoweredcooks The Cosori as far as the air fryer is concerned It is easier to clean that the wire basket in the philips. As far as the IPs, I need to ramp it up again as the colder weather is here
I'm the same... Cosori is so much easier to clean!
Came out perfect
Thanks madam!
I am a newbie and I just did the same in the video and my result was perfect!
Great job!
Cool chicken hack! 150-153 degrees, foil/plate for 5 minutes and it rest/cooks to 165? insane!

Glad it helped! I have a lot more that will help you get going! :)
I love u i never liked chicken breast in my life now im ready to fight for it if cooked correctly 😍 , thank you.
Let me know what you think!
@@empoweredcooks perfction. 💯
That was really good. Thank you.
Thank you for these tips! I tried this yesterday and the result was almost exactly as you described. Moist, tender chicken, properly cooked (I used a meat thermometer as you recommended). I think the only downside - if you can call it that - is that visually it was not as "good looking" as your chicken. My rub was made with salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and a pinch of hot chilli powder. But at the end of cooking the rub was sort of "wet" on the outside of the meat, whereas your chicken looks like the rub has almost crisped up on the outside, while internally the chicken was still moist. As I said - the taste was awesome, it was purely cosmetic. But I wonder if you have any thoughts on improving the look? I'm in the UK and I am aware that our supermarket chicken is injected with water to keep it moist in cooking (and to improve the profit margin of the producer, of course). But I'm guessing that any chicken that is so moist internally would also be moist externally, right?
The main reason that it looks different is probably because of the editing of the video. But, one tip I have for getting more crispy foods is too cook the food for an additional 1-3 minutes at 400F/200C, or until it is crispy to your liking. You can also spray additional oil on the food before cooking it at a high temp to help it get more crispy. Hope this helps!
Thanks so much for this how-to video for cooking skinless chicken, which is better for those who prefer to reduce the fat content of the meat and poultry they put on the dinner menu.
You are so welcome!
I bought an air fryer because my gym friend swear that it makes chicken breast palatable and i see your recipe and i think I’m a believer too
Life saver
Subbed..
Thank you! Glad to have you here!
Thanks for the advice on not using Pam and similar sprays in your air fryer
So many good tips here, thank you. My chicken turned out better than I've ever done and I do try hard to plate good food. I'm not a big meat eater (nor a vegan except pork blech) but I told my husband he'd better get to the table now! or it would be gone LOL!!
Woo hoo!! I love it!
Had my Air fryer for just 2 days, and its chicken today. I will let you know how we get on, thanks for the video.
Best chicken recipe ever
I'm 🇯🇲 I use the air fryer for my jerk chicken breast. Never disappoint! 🔥🔥🔥
