Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts frozen (boneless skinless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- seasoning- salt and pepper chicken seasoning
- sauce optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360F.
- Lay the chicken in a single layer, a small air fryer might just hold 2 chicken breasts whereas a large one will hold 4 chicken breasts.
- Lay with the breast side down, brush with oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Flip over and brush with more olive oil and seasoning. Cook for 10 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Season and add sauce of choice.
- To add sauce, brush on after the chicken gets flipped. Take the chicken out one minute early and brush on a little more sauce and put it back in the air fryer for one minute.
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving so the juices have time to distribute in the meat and the temperature rises to 165 F.
Notes
- Always use a digital thermometer for doneness
- Start checking temperature around the 20 minute mark
- Add sauce only during the final minutes to prevent burning
- Resting the chicken keeps it juicy and tender
- Small chicken breasts (about 6 oz) were at 165F right at 20 minutes total cook time, thin frozen chicken breast with rib meat attached needed 25 minutes in total and thicker frozen chicken meat with rib meat attached took about 28-30 minutes to cook
