Perfectly seasoned Air Fryer Smoky chicken is a quick and easy recipe for dinner that is reminiscent of summer barbecues and smokehouse restaurant dishes.
Start by mixing all the spices together and set aside.
Remove chicken breasts from the package. Trim breasts if needed.
Gently pat the spice mixture into the breasts, flip the chicken breasts and repeat.
Place the breasts into the air fryer basket or air fryer tray. Spritz with oil (this helps to crisp the spices and outside of the chicken).
Air Fry the breasts at 350F/176C for 16-18 minutes. Flip breasts midway through the cooking process and spritz again with oil. Cook until the breasts are at 165F/73C. Use a meat thermometer to measure the temp.
This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
