Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Cut chicken fillets horizontally in half or into thirds using the butterfly cut, so that thin fillets approximately one centimeter thick are created.
- Step 2
Place the chicken fillets in a bowl and mix with the oil.
- Step 3
Mix together sugar, cornstarch, paprika powder, salt and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
- Step 4
Marinate the chicken with the spice mix until each fillet is evenly coated. Preheat the air fryer to 230°C.
- Step 5
Place the chicken fillets side by side in the basket of the air fryer. Make sure they don't touch each other as much as possible.
- Step 6
Bake the chicken at 230°C for 7 minutes, turning it over halfway through. Depending on the thickness and size of the fillets, they may need a minute more or less. It's best to check the doneness with a meat thermometer before serving. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
- Step 7
Slice the chicken into thin strips and serve with your choice of side dishes. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken.
