Notes

  • You should marinate your chicken for at least 1 hour. However, it is the best to marinate overnight, just keep it in airtight container in the fridge.
  • You need to cook whole chicken breast down first for 30 minutes. After that, flip it, breast up, this way the chicken breast will not be burnt.
  • Are you looking for Air Fryer? I recommend this Secura Air Fryer that I use it all the time. It is large 5.3 QT and it fits all the food nicely. For other smaller meals I recommend Gourmia Air Fryer. Specifically in this one you won't fit the whole bird. However, you can use it for smaller meals.
