Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and cracked pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken, mixing thoroughly to coat each piece.
- Spritz the air fryer basket with non-stick spray and arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer, leaving space between each piece for crispiness.
- Air fry the chicken for 8 minutes, shaking gently halfway through cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure to spread the chicken pieces in a single layer for the best crispy texture.
If you’re in a hurry, you can overcrowd the basket, but the texture may not be as crispy.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
