# Instructions:
01 -
Kick off by warming the air fryer to 380°F for 5 minutes. At the same time, place the chicken in a deep bowl, pour oil on top, and give it a good toss. Shake on the seasoning blend—paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper—and stir to get everything covered.
02 -
Mist the air fryer’s basket lightly with the cooking spray. Lay the chicken pieces down flat in a single layer. Make sure they’re not cramped or touching.
03 -
Let the chicken cook in the fryer at 380°F for 16 minutes. No flipping or stirring needed.
04 -
When done, open up the fryer basket. Use a thermometer to confirm the thickest section of the chicken reaches at least 150°F.
05 -
Move the chicken to a serving dish and cover it snugly with foil. Wait about 5 minutes so it holds onto its juices. Slice it up (cutting against the grain) and enjoy!
