Instructions

1
Preheat Preheat the air fryer to 375 F for about 3 minutes.
2
Season Pat the chicken very dry. Rub lightly with olive oil, then season all over, including under any loose skin.
3
Start skin-side down Place the breast in the basket skin-side down. Air fry for 15 minutes.
4
Flip and finish Flip skin-side up and cook another 15-20 minutes. Very large breasts may need up to 25 minutes after flipping.
5
Check temperature Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part without touching bone. Remove when it reaches 165 F.
6
Crisp if needed For extra-crisp skin, increase the air fryer to 400 F for the final 3-5 minutes.
7
Rest Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
