Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Small Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Chicken
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Glaze
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons sugar-free honey substitute
Instructions
- Prepare your chicken: Using a sharp knife, gently score the surface of each chicken breast with shallow cuts, creating a crisscross pattern. This helps the delicious garlic butter and spices soak deep into the meat!
- Season the chicken: In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle this flavorful seasoning mix generously over both sides of the scored chicken breasts.
- Air fry for the first round: Carefully place the seasoned chicken into your air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 14-16 minutes. The exact time might vary based on how thick your chicken breasts are, so aim for internal temp of 165°F.
- Make the garlic butter glaze: While the chicken cooks, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and sugar-free honey substitute in a separate small bowl.
- Glaze and finish cooking: After the initial cooking time, open your air fryer and brush the fragrant garlic butter glaze evenly over the chicken breasts. Close the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the glaze lightly caramelize.
- Serve and enjoy: For an extra burst of flavor, give the chicken one more brush of the garlic butter before serving immediately. Enjoy your perfectly juicy chicken!
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, give the chicken one more brush of the garlic butter before serving immediately.
