Tips

  • Making cuts in the chicken breast allows the marinade to penetrate the meat, ensuring it stays flavorful.
  • Using yogurt in the marinade helps keep the chicken super moist.
  • Marinating for at least an hour is key for the best results.
  • Crumbling and folding the edges of the baking paper prevents it from coming into contact with the air fryer fan, which poses a fire hazard.
  • If using a different air fryer, adjust the cooking time and temperature based on its size and manual guidelines.
