Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to around 370°F (187.7°C). This helps ensure even cooking.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps the skin or coating adhere better and may give the chicken a crispier texture.
  • Season the Chicken: Squeeze the fresh lemon, or lime juice onto the chicken. Next pour the olive oil onto the chicken breasts and massage into the chicken breasts. Mix your seasonings into a small cup or bowl. Season the chicken on both sides. You can also marinate the chicken beforehand for added flavor.
  • Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
  • Cook in the Air Fryer: Cook the chicken at 370°F (187.7C) for approximately 8-10 minutes. The exact time may vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts and the specific air fryer model.
  • Flip the Chicken: About halfway through the cooking time, flip the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking on both sides. Cook for an additional 6-8 minutes.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should reach at least 165°F (74°C) to be considered safe to eat.
  • Rest Before Serving: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist.
