Marinate the chicken

• First up, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and set the cook time for 20 minutes.
• While the air fryer preheats, mix the chicken rub and olive oil in a small bowl and combine to make a marinade.

• Brush the marinade all over one side of the chicken, then transfer the chicken to the preheated air fryer basket. Lay the chicken in a single layer. It can touch, but it shouldn’t be overlapping. This ensures the hot air can circulate evenly around the skinless chicken breasts.

Air fry the chicken

• Begin air frying. After 10 minutes of cook time, flip the chicken over and slather the remainder of marinade over the unmarinated sides of the chicken breasts.

• Cook for another 5 minutes, then check the internal temperature.

Check for doneness

• Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. If the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F or higher, it’s done. If it’s not quite there yet, add another minute or two to the total cook time and recheck.
• You want to pull it as close to 165 as possible, otherwise, you risk drying out the chicken.
