Air Fryer Fried Chicken Recipe (Air Fryer Chicken Breast)

Ingredients

  • 2 large Boneless Chicken Breast

For Marination

  • 1 tsp Red Chilli powder or Paprika
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tspo 7 Spice Powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp Chicken Seasoning Powder (optional)
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch

For Coating & Cooking

  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat air fryer at 200 degree C for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    While air fryer is preheating, prepare chicken breast. Take boneless chicken breast, slit them in the middle to butterfly chicken breast. This makes the chicken breast thin which cooks more evenly. I cut each chicken breast in half, but you can leave them whole too.

  3. 3

    Take the cut chicken breasts in a bowl. Add in all marination ingredients and mix well.

  4. 4

    Now take panko breadcrumbs in another bowl. Take each chicken and press with panko. Coat on both sides really well. Set aside, proceed with remaining chicken.

  5. 5

    Now remove the air fryer basket. Place a sheet of parchment paper. Drizzle little oil in the base, place the chicken in the basket. Drizzle little oil over the chicken. Place the basket into the air fryer. Bake for 15 minutes. Around 8 to 10 minute mark, remove the air fryer basket, flip the chicken and bake again.

  6. 6

    The chicken should be crispy and golden. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
