Air Fryer Grilled Chicken
A quick, healthy, and flavorful way to enjoy grilled chicken with the help of an air fryer, ensuring a crispy exterior and juicy inside with minimal effort.
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole Juice of 1 lemon
- to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
- Once preheated, place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. Ensure all pieces of chicken are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
