Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
  

The Spices

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt I use Morton table salt for this because it’s fine and better for coating
  • 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

The Chicken

  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts If you have closer to 1.5 pounds in your package, increase the amount of spices above by 1.5x

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Cut each chicken breast into thin, flat pieces. Pat the chicken breasts dry if they have a lot of moisture.
  • Toss the spices together and sprinkle the mixture over the chicken pieces in a bowl. Add the oil and toss thoroughly.
  • Preheat the air fryer. Place the chicken in an even layer on the air fryer basket and air fry at 415 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Let it rest for a moment; then slice into it and enjoy.

Notes

You can let the chicken sit with the spices for up to 24 hours in the fridge for best results. Try different paprika ratios for a unique flavor.
