Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels—don’t skip this or you’ll miss out on that crisp finish.
Rub both sides with olive oil like you’re giving them a spa treatment.
Mix the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper together, then sprinkle generously over the chicken.
Place chicken breasts in a single layer in your air fryer basket. No overlapping, or you’ll just steam ‘em.
Air fry at 370°F for about 10 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 7–8 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 165°F.
Let them rest for 3 minutes. Seriously—step away and let the juices settle in. Then slice and serve!
