Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs Choose based on your preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix For flavoring the chicken.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray For coating the chicken.
  • to taste none Salt and pepper For additional seasoning.
Optional Garnish
  • to taste none Fresh herbs For garnish, if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Rub the chicken with a little olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
  5. Coat the chicken generously with the ranch seasoning mix.
  6. Place the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  7. Cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Once done, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in ranch dressing for an hour before seasoning. Ensure enough space between pieces in the air fryer for even cooking. For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
