Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and minced garlic. Spread the garlic mayo all over the chicken breasts.

  5. Coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
  6. Place the chicken in the basket and cook for 8 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
