Air Fryer Honey Garlic Chicken Breast with a Soy Marinade
Honey-soy marinated chicken breasts air-fried at 380°F, rested, and sliced for serving.
Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- green onions chopped, optional for garnish
Instructions
Instructions
- Whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper together. Coat the breasts, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Lift the chicken from the marinade, let excess drain, discard the used marinade, and place the breasts in one layer with space between them.
- Cook at 380°F for about 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove each breast when its thickest center reaches 165°F, allowing longer for thick pieces and reducing heat if the honey scorches.
- Rest for 5 minutes, slice across the grain, and divide into two servings. Garnish with optional green onions.
Notes
- Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F); keep at 40°F or below and use within 3–4 days.
- Reheat to 165°F throughout, checking often because the sweet coating can darken before the center is hot.
