Learn how to make the crispiest chicken breasts ever in the air fryer. It's so easy to do with Panko breadcrumbs, and you don't need any oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. salt, divided
  • 1 tsp. pepper, divided
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove the chicken breasts from the packaging and pound them into an even thickness. If your air fryer has a metal rack, set it in the tray. Cooking the chicken on the rack promotes crispy chicken.

  2. 2

    Whisk together flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Pour it out onto a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the egg to a bowl.

  4. 4

    Whisk the Panko breadcrumbs together with the remaining salt and pepper. Pour that out onto an additional plate.

  5. 5

    Dip the chicken breasts into the flour mixture, then the egg, and then the Panko mixture until all of the pieces are coated.

  6. 6

    Lay the chicken on the rack in your air fryer if you’re using one.

  7. 7

    Slide the tray into the air fryer, and turn the dial to 350°F. Set the timer for 22 minutes.

  8. 8

    The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165°F before serving and it will be golden brown and delicious.
