Servings: 4
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
Combine the teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix in olive oil to form a paste.
Coat the frozen chicken breasts with the spice mixture. Try to cover them as evenly as possible.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
Cook for 25-35 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking.
The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving.
