Cost: Recipe $6.63 / Serving $1.67
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil ($0.14)
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts ($5.94)
- ½ teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ($0.02)
- ½ cup BBQ sauce ($0.52)
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Brush the chicken breasts on all sides with olive oil.
- Season. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Air fry. Place the chicken into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes.
- Flip. Turn the chicken over and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or until nearly cooked through.
- Sauce. Brush the chicken generously with BBQ sauce, then return to the air fryer and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Rest. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Other chicken cuts. Bone-in thighs and drumsticks cook similarly but may need slightly longer. Boneless skinless thighs cook in about 15 minutes total, flipping halfway.
- Doneness. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
