• Hi Michele, this method works pretty well for us (and many others) but you could try that.

  • I followed the recipe exactly and did the dry brine for a few hours. However, the chicken came out very salty from the brine I guess. Should I have rinsed the chicken off? Other than that, the chicken was moist and not dried out which is what I was aiming for. If it wasn’t for the saltiness, I would have given it 5 stars.3 stars

  • Delicious, very juicy and tender, and so easy to make. I’ve made it twice now and each time cooked extra for freezing. Except for using my own spicy powder mix I followed your recipe.
    You can add ‘making shredded chicken’ to your “Ways to Use Air Fryer Chicken Breast” list – it works really well.
    My air fryer came with almost no instructions, and I’ve learnt lots from you over the past months. Thanks for all your delicious recipes and fab ideas, Erin!5 stars

  • Hi Gary! This is air fried. It’s not mentioned because the air fryer I use doesn’t have all of the other settings you are referring to. All of my air fryer recipes will be cooked air fried. Hope this helps!

  • Hi Ruth! I’ve only tested this recipe with boneless chicken breast. I know others have tried bone-in with success. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!

  • Hi Amanda! There is a section in the blog post called “How Long to Cook Chicken in the Air Fyer” This gives recommendations on weight, size and time. Hope this helps!

  • Hi Marcia! Question 1. You are dividing the 1/2 tsp kosher salt evenly over each breast. You will need to eyeball this as you are doing it. Question 2. Yes, I believe traditionally you rinse the chicken after doing a wet brine. Question 3. Some people like to prepare their chicken ahead of time for cooking. This is the difference in the time, so those people know they can do the brine up to a day ahead. You can choose any time you’d like, that is based on preference. Hope you enjoy it!

  • Thank goodness for this recipe! My chicken breast whether fried, baked or air fried always came out “chewy” not tender. I followed your instructions and the chicken breast were tender and so delicious. Thank you so much!5 stars

  • This one has blown my mind. I can not get over how good this chicken is, even sliced up and cold! I’ve made it twice now and each time I should have made more for leftovers. I don’t know if it is the brine or the air fryer but the combination is insanely good and easy!!! Thanks Erin!5 stars

  • I’m a big fan of the air fryer, and this recipe showed why. I do think it’s a juicer way of making chicken breast.5 stars
