Instructions

  • Use the ingredients from the chicken section and mix with 1 marinade. Or you can make 7* the marinades and then mix and match with 7* lots of protein.
  • Bagging. If using a bag holder and zip loc bags place the marinade into the bag, shake it all about and seal. If saving for the freezer, label it up and freeze it flat.
  • If preparing in the foil tray, add the marinade, mix in the chicken ingredients, fridge or freeze for later and then air fry when ready.
  • If using the zip loc method, transfer the contents of the bag to a paper liner and air fry. Or if using the tray containers, when ready transfer to the air fryer.
  • To air fry, set the temperature to 180c/360f and air fry for 15 minutes for small breasts, 20 minutes for medium and 25 minutes for large.
  • Always perform an internal temperature of the chicken at the thickest part and make sure its 70c/160f or above before serving.
  • Then slice your chicken and its ready for enjoying.

Notes

Mix and Match. Make these air fryer marinated chicken your own and mix and match. We find that 1 batch of marinade will do 4 chicken breasts, but it can also do a pack of chicken thighs, or drumsticks, or salmon and any other you would normally add marinade to.
