Method
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin, flat pieces. Aim for pieces that are not bite-sized but resemble thin chicken cutlets. If you have two chicken breasts from a one-pound package, cut each into 3-4 thin pieces.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry if they are moist. In a bowl, toss the spices together until well mixed. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken pieces. Add the avocado oil and toss to coat the chicken thoroughly. You can let it rest briefly, but it's flavorful even when cooked immediately.
- Preheat your air fryer. Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space for air circulation. Air fry at 415 degrees F (213 degrees C) for 10 minutes. For larger pieces, cook for up to 13 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- The chicken should be crispy on the outside, flavorful, and juicy. Let it rest for a moment before slicing. Enjoy immediately; many people eat it directly from the air fryer.
