Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs Chicken breasts
- 1/4 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt optional
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 tbsp oil
Buffalo Sauce
- 1/3 cup Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce
- 1 tbsp Butter unsalted
Instructions
- Mix the spices together in a small bowl.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken breasts to a large mixing bowl with the spices and oil. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer on the air fryer basket.
- Air fry 400 for 6-8 min per side, depending on how large your chicken breasts are.
- Mix the buffalo sauce ingredients.
- Toss the cooked chicken in the sauce, allow it to rest in the Buffalo sauce for 5 minutes, and serve. Leftover sauce can be served with the chicken in a dipping cup.
Notes
- For spicy food lovers, add a dash of cayenne pepper or ghost pepper flakes to the sauce for additional flavor and heat.
- Mix the spices in a small bowl first: this helps the spices apply evenly on the chicken breasts.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes for best results (the chicken gets a good sear).
- Use a food thermometer to ensure the chicken cooks until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. This might mean that you have to adjust the cooking time.
- Make homemade blue cheese dressing to enjoy this with.
