Air fryer chicken tastes like a cross between roast chicken and fried chicken. It’s very juicy and currently my top way of cooking chicken. You can use this recipe on chicken wings and split legs.
I like to keep the seasoning basic for good air fryer chicken. I use salt, galic, ginger, and cayenne pepper all the time and it never fails me. I’ve found that 20 minutes at a temperature of 200°C is the sweet spot for air frying chicken. It comes out juicy, slightly crispy and cooked through. Best part is you don’t have to flip it-you just let the air fryer do its thing and let it air fry for 20 minutes straight.
Tips for a good air frying experience:
Avoid honey, and syrups (marinades are okay) to marinate the chicken as it makes the air fried chciken get a deep brown color which makes it look burnt.
Avoid stacking the chicken on top of one another in the air fyer. This lengthens the cooking time and doesn’t allow the chicken to get browned evenly.
