Air Fryer Honey Mustard Crusted Chicken
This weeknight dinner recipe for Air Fryer Honey Mustard Crusted Chicken is sooooo easy but the flavor and crunch are sure to impress!
If you don’t count the kosher salt and pepper, this is a 3-ingredient meal.
I am using boneless, skinless chicken thighs because they are both cheaper and juicier compared to chicken breasts (but yes, you can use thin chicken breasts if preferred).
How to make Air Fryer Honey Mustard Crusted Chicken
The 3 ingredients are 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, honey mustard, and seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
If you pay attention to detail, yes…yes the panko pictured is NOT seasoned.
I did swap them out for the seasoned ones once I realized. Whoopsie 😉
Season the chicken thighs with kosher salt and pepper on both sides and place them into the air fryer basket.
Then spoon some honey mustard over the chicken.
I put this honey mustard in a separate bowl to avoid any cross contamination.
I tried to get as much as possible without it dripping off the sides.
Next sprinkle the seasoned panko over top.
Then set the air fryer to 370 degrees for 19 to 21 minutes.
The internal temp of the chicken should be above 165 degrees.
While the chicken was cooking in the air fryer, I microwaved a 12-ounce bag of trimmed green beans.
Then set a skillet over medium heat with olive oil and cooked them another 5 minutes.
And seasoned with garlic herb seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper for an easy side dish.
Air Fryer Honey Mustard Crusted Chicken and Green Beans was a fabulous, and pretty healthy dinner 🙂
I did put some extra honey mustard on the table for anyone who wanted it extra saucy.
When the family devours the whole dang meal and no leftovers are in sight, I’d call that a dinner WIN!
