Sure, here’s a simple recipe for crispy air fryer golden chicken:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use seasoned or plain, depending on your preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken breasts into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Finally, coat the chicken breasts with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil spray.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Spray the tops of the chicken breasts lightly with cooking spray or olive oil spray.
- Air fry the chicken breasts at 375°F (190°C) for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve your crispy air fryer golden chicken delight with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, and you can also add some grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor. Enjoy your crispy and delicious chicken!
