Chicken Breast
  • 650 g Chicken breast approx 4, cut in half lengthways (so you end up with 2 very thin fillets from each piece of chicken)

  • 6 tsp Dark brown sugar
  • 4 tsp Garlic granules
  • 3 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 200℃/400F while you prepare the chicken.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways to create thinner fillets.
  3. In a bowl, mix the coating ingredients. Add the chicken pieces and coat them thoroughly.
