Ingredients

For the chicken

• Seasonings: salt and black pepper

For the glaze

• Brown sugar
• Fresh garlic cloves

• Soy sauce
• Worcestershire 

Tips & Tricks

• If you have a thick chicken breast, you may need to pound down the chicken breast to ensure an even cooking time. You can always butterfly the chicken breast if it’s super thick as well!
• Always use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165F. Once the timer goes off take the chicken out of the air fryer so you don’t dry out the chicken.

Tools to make this Honey Glazed Chicken Breast

• Cosori Air Fryer – this is my favorite air fryer. The large air fryer basket makes it so easy to cook your favorite recipes
• Tongs – tongs are easiest to remove and flip the chicken legs
• Meat thermometer – You always want to make sure the internal temperature of ANY chicken 165
