Using cups for measurement is common in the UK and USA, but weight (grams) is often more accurate. If you're following a recipe from our collection, check whether it uses weight or volume to avoid mistakes. A kitchen scale is your best friend here!
Start by dicing or shredding the chicken breast for consistent cup measurements. Pack it lightly into a measuring cup without pressing down too hard. For 275 grams, you'll fill the cup halfway a third time. This method works well for most meal prep needs.
Once you've measured your 275 grams (1.5 cups) of chicken breast, preheat your air fryer to 180°C. Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C. This ensures safety without overcooking. For crispy results, pat the chicken dry before seasoning.
If you're batch-cooking, avoid stacking to ensure even airflow. Our cleaning guide can help maintain your air fryer after cooking chicken. Remember, 275 grams fits nicely in most standard air fryer baskets without overcrowding.
This portion is perfect for stir-fries, salads, or wraps. Try marinating your 1.5 cups of chicken in yoghurt and spices before air frying for tender results. You could also bread it for a crispy coating—just adjust cooking time by 2–3 minutes.
