Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large bone-in skin-on chicken breast (1¼ to 1½ pounds)
  • 1 cup buttermilk or dairy-free alternative
  • teaspoons dried parsley
  • teaspoons dried chives
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, dried parsley, dried chives, kosher salt, dried dill, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried tarragon.
  • Place the chicken breast in the bowl, ensuring it is completely covered with the buttermilk mixture.
  • Let it marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
  • In another bowl, mix together the dried parsley, dried chives, kosher salt, dried dill, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried tarragon to create the seasoning mix.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 300°F.
  • Remove the chicken breast from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place it skin-side up in the air fryer basket.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the top of the chicken breast and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Lightly spray the top of the chicken breast with cooking spray.
  • Cook the chicken at 300°F for 10 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350°F and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F and the chicken is deep golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken breast from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
