Peitos de frango na air fryer (ótimos para preparar refeições com antecedência!)

Ingredientes

• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup pickle juice or white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (ONLY if using vinegar instead of pickle juice)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl or 9x9" baking dish, whisk together the buttermilk, pickle brine, and salt. Add chicken and allow to soak in the brine for 1-2 hours. Remove from buttermilk.

2. 2

   While the chicken is brining, combine the seasonings together. Massage the seasonings over the chicken.

3. 3

   Place chicken breasts in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size) and cook for 9 minutes at 360. Flip the chicken and cook for another 9 minutes. Check the internal temperature--if it is at 160, remove from air fryer and cover loosely with aluminum foil for 5 minutes, then slice and serve. If they need a little more time, place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes (no need to turn the heat back on, just close the door.)

4. 4

   These can be refrigerated for up to 7 days.
