Shake And Bake Chicken In Air fryer
This air fryer shake and bake chicken is a quick, easy, flavorful, and utterly delicious chicken dinner. It is ready in 20 minutes using just 2 ingredients: Bake' N Shake original chicken seasoning mix and olive oil. Let's get cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet Bake 'N Shake original chicken coating mix
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F / 200°C for 3-5 minutes.
- For large chicken breasts, slice them into two cutlets or pound them with a meat mallet to ensure equal thickness. This step is important to achieve consistent cooking. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a kitchen paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a freezer bag.
- Drizzle a little oil on the chicken breast and rub it together so that it coats the chicken.
- Open a packet of Shake n Bake and pour it over the chicken in the freezer bag.
- Seal the bag tightly and shake until the chicken is fully coated in the breadcrumb mixture. Discard the leftover crumb seasoning. You can coat the chicken one at a time if you prefer.
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil spray. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breast in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the shake and bake the chicken for 16-18 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cooking time or until the internal temperature reaches 165F/74C. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking oil spray when you flip them.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and rest it on a plate for at least 5 minutes before serving or slicing it for the juice to redistube back into the chicken. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Can I use frozen chicken breast
Yes, you can use frozen chicken. However, you must let it thaw completely before cooking it; otherwise, the coating will become soggy. You may also risk undercooking the chicken.
