Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken boneless, skinless
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Begin by slicing up a pound of chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Add chicken to a mixing bowl for seasoning.
- Drizzle on some olive oil and sprinkle on salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Use a spoon to coat the chicken in oil and seasonings.
- Place seasoned chicken in air fryer basket, in a single layer.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, pausing halfway through to flip chicken with a spatula. This ensures even cooking.
- Once time is up, remove basket from air fryer. Since air fryers can differ in operation, you may want to check the internal temperature of the chicken to be sure that it is done. White meat should be at least 165 degrees and dark meat should register at least 185 degrees Fahrenheit. If not, cook chicken for another 2-3 minutes.
- When chicken is done, remove from air fryer basket with a spatula and serve.

Notes
- Can use any part of the chicken, as long as it's boneless meat
- Feel free to omit the olive oil if you prefer, the air fryer does not need it for cooking, it's only to add flavor
- Use any seasonings you love on chicken. Some ideas: bbq seasoning, red pepper flakes, cumin, rosemary, thyme, etc
