Letโs Get Cooking:
1. First, letโs make that mouth-watering marinade. Mix honey, minced garlic (yes, fresh is better โ donโt @ me), soy sauce, olive oil, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
1. Season those chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Donโt be shy with the seasoning, weโre not making bland food in this house!
1. Let those babies marinate for at least 30 minutes. Trust me, patience is a virtue here. Use this time to scroll through my other recipes on Newsbreak! ๐
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Just like we need our coffee hot, we need our air fryer ready!
1. Place the chicken in your air fryer basket, making sure theyโre not touching (they need their personal space, just like we do!).
1. Cook for 10-12 minutes, then flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165ยฐF (74ยฐC) โ food safety is sexy, people!
1. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. I know itโs tempting, but resist the urge to dig in immediately!
The result? Tender, juicy chicken with a gorgeous caramelized honey garlic coating thatโll have everyone thinking you went to culinary school! Pair it with some roasted veggies or a fresh salad, and boom โ restaurant-quality dinner at home!
Yโall, I canโt even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my dinner parties! Itโs literally impossible to mess up (unless you forget about it while watching TikTok โ been there, done that! ๐).
