This juicy marinated chicken in the air fryer is an easy and healthy dinner option. Marinating the chicken in balsamic vinegar and olive oil gives it a rich, delicious flavor, while simple seasonings add even more taste. The chicken cooks quickly and stays tender and juicy, making it a convenient meal for busy days.
How to Make Chicken in an Air Fryer
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt until they are well combined. Add the chicken and toss until every piece is coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or for up to five hours.
In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set the seasoning aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the chicken and cook for about eight minutes.
Turn the chicken over and add the remaining seasoning. Continue cooking for another eight minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is fully cooked.
Allow the chicken to rest briefly before serving. This helps keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
