## 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.
