Scallion segments and ginger slices : Both have strong flavors and can be used to marinate chicken breast to make it more fragrant.

Mistakes to Avoid

Inadequately marinated chicken breast

When making air fryer grilled chicken breast, if the chicken breast is not fully marinated , the seasoning will not penetrate into the meat, which will cause the chicken breast to taste bad . Therefore, the chicken breast should be fully marinated for at least 30 minutes, and if time permits, it can be extended to more than 1 hour.

Insufficient tin foil spray

When baking chicken breast in an air fryer, you should first spray a layer of oil on the tin foil. If the tin foil is not sprayed with enough oil, the chicken breast will stick to the pan or be baked unevenly , affecting the taste .

Improper temperature and time settings

When baking chicken breast, the temperature setting of the air fryer is very particular. It is usually set to 180 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes, turn it over and bake for another 10 minutes. During this period, observe the color and texture of the chicken breast and adjust the time and temperature appropriately .

The chicken breast is not pierced or not pierced enough

The main purpose of piercing and cutting chicken breasts is to make it easier for the chicken breast to absorb flavor and to allow the chicken breast to be heated evenly. If no holes are pierced or not enough cuts are made, the heat may not penetrate evenly, affecting the taste.
