How long to air fry bone-in chicken breast?

The time it takes to air fry chicken breast bone-in will depend on the size of your chicken breasts, as well as the temperature you are baking them at. I air fry them at 375°F. To make sure your chicken is cooked through, you can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast meat and see if it reaches 165°F before removing it from the oven.

How to cook chicken breasts so they are moist and tender?

The best way to ensure your chicken breasts come out moist and tender is to marinate them before baking. My Asian honey soy garlic sauce gives the chicken a delicious flavor, as well as helps keep it juicy while baking in the oven. Additionally, you can also cover your chicken with foil before baking to help lock in moisture and prevent drying out.

Do bone-in chicken breasts cook faster?

No, bone-in chicken breasts do not cook faster than boneless chicken breasts. In fact, they may take slightly longer to bake as the bones add an extra layer of insulation that helps keep the heat in and prevents the chicken from cooking too quickly. However, bone-in chicken breast comes out juicier and more moist.

How long should you air fry chicken breast?

This depends on the size of the chicken and whether it's bone-in or boneless. Usually, I cook them for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. I use a meat thermometer and take it out at 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes and dig in.

Instructions

Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Add the bone-in chicken breasts.
Bone-in chicken breast: Cut diagonal slits in the middle. Add the bone-in chicken breast in the large bowl. Add the marinade and let it marinate for 30 minutes minimum. For best results marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the air fryer: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
Air fry the chicken for 25 minutes at 375°F. The internal temperature should be 165°F (75°C). Check the chicken after 20 minutes. Do not over cook the chicken breast.
Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with balsamic glaze for that caramelized finish.
