  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chicken and toss to coat.
  4. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Notes

Serve alongside steamed rice, fresh vegetables, or a simple salad. You can also serve it with a delicious dipping sauce for a fun twist. To store leftovers, let the chicken cool to room temperature, then place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze for up to two months, reheating well before enjoying again.
