Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures a consistent cooking temperature for perfectly crisp chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, and your desired amount of pepper. Mix these flavorful spices together to create your amazing seasoning.
Lightly brush both sides of each chicken breast with avocado or olive oil. Then, generously sprinkle your prepared seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken, making sure they are well coated for maximum flavor.
Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow air to circulate properly.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes. For perfectly even cooking and browning, flip the chicken breasts halfway through the cooking time. (Note: If using an air fryer oven, you might need a few extra minutes.)
The key to juicy chicken is not to overcook it! Use an instant-read thermometer to check the thickest part of the chicken. You're aiming for an internal temperature of 155°F to 160°F (68°C to 71°C).
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This important "carryover cooking" step will naturally raise the temperature to a safe 165°F (74°C) and lock in all the delicious juices, ensuring incredibly tender results!
