Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients
  

The Spices

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt I use Morton table salt for this because it's fine and better for coating
  • 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

The Chicken

  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts - if you have closer to 1.5 pounds in your package, increase the amount of spices above by 1.5x to make sure you have enough seasoning for your chicken

Instructions
 

  • Cut each chicken breast into thin, flat pieces (not bite-sized but something that looks like a thin chicken breast). Pat the chicken breasts dry if they have a lot of moisture on them.
  • Toss the spices together so they’re mixed well; sprinkle mixture over the chicken pieces in a bowl. Add the oil and toss to thoroughly coat the chicken.
  • Preheat the air fryer and place the chicken in an even layer in the basket. Air fry the chicken at 415 degrees for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • Let it rest for a moment; then slice into it and enjoy. You can serve it with a house-made gochujang dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

Great for serving hot straight out of the air fryer. Pairs well with gochujang dipping sauce.
