Cooking Split Chicken Breast In An Air Fryer

Cooking a Bone-In Chicken Breast (also known as a split chicken breast) in your air fryer is about as easy as it gets. Just rub chicken with oil and seasoning then air fry for about 35 minutes. You will have the most tender juicy chicken ever!

Having a bone in the chicken breast allows the chicken to cook more evenly and retain the juices.

How To Cook Bone-In Chicken Breast In An Air Fryer

1. Rub chicken breasts with oil, seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer to greased air fryer basket.
2. Air fry at 370ºF for 35-45 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165ºF. Time will vary depending on size of chicken breasts.

Cooking time varies depending on each air fryer brand. I have owned several different air fryers and each brand cooked very differently. Use this recipe as a guideline or starting point and adjust depending on your air fryer.
