Storage:
Have some leftover chicken breasts? Place the chicken in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can also store leftover chicken breast in the freezer for up to 2 months. Make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag before freezing.
To reheat, thaw in the fridge if frozen, then air fry at 380ºF for 4-5 minutes until warm.
Top Tips:
- For best results, make sure that the chicken breasts are similar in size to ensure even cooking.
- The total cook time will depend on several factors, including the thickness of the chicken breast and how hot your air fryer is.
- Don't use color to measure doneness. The best way to avoid undercooking chicken is by using a reliable meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer; make sure it is 165 degrees F before serving.
- All air fryers cook differently, so the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help ensure that they are nice and juicy.
