What You’ll Need To Make Air Fryer Grilled Chicken Breasts
- Chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You could swap them for chicken thighs, but the flavor is going to be different.
- Olive Oil: Using olive oil is the perfect way to give the chicken a yummy exterior that’s hard to beat. You could swap the olive oil for any other oil of your choice.
- Seasonings: The perfectly seasoned chicken comes from a combination of chili powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
