Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (butterflied in half)
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 eggs (whisked)
- 1 cup (240 ml) bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) paprika
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) dried thyme
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- spicy honey
Instructions
- Warm up the air fryer to 390°F. Generously sprinkle kosher salt and pepper over the four pieces of butterflied chicken breast.
- Set up a coating station by putting the whisked eggs in one shallow dish, and the bread crumbs mixed with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme in another. Cover a baking tray with foil.
- Submerge each piece of chicken first in the egg mixture, then coat it in the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing down to ensure they stick. Lay them on the prepared tray.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer inside (you may need to do this in several rounds). Mist the breaded chicken with cooking spray and cook for 4 minutes on each side.
- Pour spicy honey over the crispy chicken before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Add extra paprika or cayenne to the seasoned bread crumbs for more flavor.
- Press bread crumbs firmly onto chicken for a crispy coating.
- Lightly coat air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
