Juicy and tender air fryer chicken breasts glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the olive oil evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the chicken breasts for 9 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the glaze by mixing honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth.
After 9 minutes, carefully flip the chicken breasts and brush the glaze generously over the cooked side.
Cook for an additional 9 minutes.
Once cooked, brush the remaining glaze over the chicken breasts.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
