Description
A delightful Air Fryer Maple Glazed Chicken recipe that combines the sweetness of maple syrup with the savory notes of soy sauce, resulting in juicy, tender chicken with a crispy exterior.
Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- Maple Syrup: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
- Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon (5 g)
- Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon (2 g)
- Fresh Herbs: For garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by combining maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Reserve a small amount of marinade for glazing later.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- In the last 2-3 minutes, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade to create a glaze.
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) before removing from the air fryer.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model.
