Ingredients

Scale
  • 650 g (1.4 lb) chicken breast (approx x4), cut in half lengthways
  • 6 tsp paprika
  • 6 tsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 tsp garlic granules
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 200℃/400F while prepping chicken.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways to create two thin fillets from each breast.
  • Mix the spices together in a bowl to create the coating, then add the chicken pieces and coat them well.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the basket and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75℃/165F.
Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor.
