Description
Deliciously tender chicken breasts infused with a sweet and savory honey garlic marinade, cooked to perfection in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or a gluten-free alternative)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Place the breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it up and drizzle with any leftover marinade. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
