Ingredients
Scale
4 duck breasts
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon chicken seasoning
Instructions
Set your air fryer to 400F to preheat it.
Rinse the duck breasts and dry them well using paper towels.
Carefully score the skin in a crisscross pattern with a sharp knife and poke some holes using a fork.
Lightly spray olive oil and generously coat the duck breasts with chicken seasoning.
Chill the seasoned duck breasts in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to an hour if time allows.
Place the duck breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Confirm the internal temperature has reached 165F before serving.
Notes
I use just a little oil to make sure the seasoning sticks to it
Duck meat is fatty so you don’t need a lot of oil
If you don’t have poultry seasoning, you can use any type of seasoning you like
Some good options are garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper
If you want to make a quick lunch, you can air fry some leftover duck breast from dinner the night before
Just slice it thinly and reheat it for 5-10 minutes at 400F
For extra crispy skin, score the skin in a crisscross pattern, a diamond pattern, or a crosshatch pattern before cooking
Just be careful not to cut too deeply into the meat
