Description

A quick and easy recipe for Spicy Sriracha Chicken Breast cooked in an air fryer, featuring juicy chicken with a fiery kick of sriracha.


Ingredients

  • 🍗 Chicken Breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
  • 🌶️ Sriracha Sauce: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • 🛢️ Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
  • 🧄 Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon (5 g)
  • 🌿 Paprika: 1 teaspoon (5 g)
  • 🧂 Salt: 1 teaspoon (5 g)
  • 🧂 Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon (2 g)
  • 🌿 Fresh Herbs: (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining sriracha sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Coat the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by reducing the amount of sriracha or adding honey for sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
