Notes
Nutritional info is for chicken only.
Try making these air fryer chicken breasts with one of my other chicken marinades.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 400 F.
Freeze the chicken cooked or raw in the marinade for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat or cook as normal.
