Tips and Ticks for Air Fryer Chicken Breast No Breading
- Spice it up! We keep this seasoning simple, but you can certainly take it up a notch! Try using cumin and chili powder for a taco style chicken breast. Or season with salt and poultry seasoning for a homestyle chicken breast in the air fryer.
- Cooking from frozen? Cook at 360F for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until done. Keep in mind that all air fryers cook a little bit differently, so check the temperature of your meat with a thermometer to make sure that it’s done.
- Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches a temperature of 165F. I recommend using a kitchen thermometer to test the temperature of your chicken at the end of the cook time. Add additional minutes to the cook time if needed.
