Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  2. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Lightly spray the chicken breasts with olive oil and rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  5. Air fry for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Bone-in chicken breasts maintain moisture and flavor better than boneless. Feel free to customize the spice blend according to your preferences.
