ONE simple Trick for Juicy AIR FRYER Chicken (NO Breading!)

✅AIR FRYER CHICKEN BREAST INGREDIENTS:
➤2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
➤1/2 tsp kosher salt
➤2 tsp olive oil
➤1 tsp paprika
➤½ tsp garlic powder
➤½ tsp onion powder
➤¼ tsp black pepper

✅DIRECTIONS:
➤put the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a big sheet of plastic wrap. With a rolling pin, meat mallet, or your palm, lightly pound into an even thickness.
➤To Dry Brine: put the chicken on a plate and sprinkle all over with the kosher salt. put in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. If you will not be dry brining, skip this step.
➤When ready to air fry: remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
➤In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper (if you did not dry brine the chicken, add the salt now)
➤put the chicken in a big bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the top. Toss to coat the chicken, ensuring you rub the spices evenly over both sides.
➤Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (my model takes 3 minutes to heat). put the chicken presentation side (smooth side) down in the air fryer and let cook 6 minutes.
➤Remove the air fryer basket, then with tongs, carefully flip the chicken over. Continue cooking until the chicken registers between 155 and 160 degrees F, 2 to 8 minutes more. Chicken is considered safe to eat at 165 degrees F, but I love to remove mine a few degrees early, then let the carry over cooking finish the job. The total cook time will vary based on your model and the size of your chicken. Smaller breasts (about 6 ounces each) will need only around 8 minutes total; larger ones may need 14 or more. Check the chicken often towards the stop to monitor its progress. do NOT overcook or it will be dry.
➤Remove the chicken to a plate. Cover and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. cut and enjoy!
