Air Fryer Lime Chicken is tender

by
  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
    • Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

Step 2: Air Frying the Chicken

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
    • Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
    • Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the outside is golden brown and crispy.

Step 3: Serve

  1. Rest and Garnish:
    • Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, for added freshness.
  2. Serve:
    • Serve the Air Fryer Lime Chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite sides such as rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.

Tips for Success:

  • Chicken Thickness: Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken breasts to ensure they cook through evenly.
  • Marinating Time: Longer marinating time allows the flavors to develop more deeply in the chicken. If marinating for longer than 2 hours, cover and refrigerate.
  • Air Fryer Variations: Cooking times may vary depending on the model and size of your air fryer. Always check for doneness using a meat thermometer.
  • Flavor Variations: Customize the marinade by adding a pinch of chili powder for a spicy kick or honey for a touch of sweetness.

Air Fryer Lime Chicken is a versatile dish that’s light, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the tangy citrus flavor paired with tender, juicy chicken cooked to perfection in your air fryer!
