Step 1

Preheat air fryer to 400°F (205°C) - don't worry if it doesn't heat up all the way - you just want it hot.

Step 2

Add the chicken to a large plastic bag, and use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken until it's about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Add dry rub ingredients to a small bowl, and mix until combined.

Step 4

Sprinkle an equal amount of the rub on both sides of the chicken, and work it into the meat with your hands.

Step 5

Coat the air fryer basket with baking spray, and add the chicken breasts to it.

Step 6

Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 8 minutes (or until the chicken reaches 162°F). Flip the chicken at the 4-minute mark.

Step 7

Remove from the air fryer, and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. It should reach 165°F while resting.
