How do I ensure the chicken stays moist inside?

To keep the chicken juicy, avoid overcooking it in the air fryer. The key is cooking it at the right temperature (375°F) and not exceeding the cooking time of 10-12 minutes. You might consider brining the chicken beforehand as well.

Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?

While this recipe calls for boneless chicken breasts, you can use bone-in pieces. Just keep in mind that the cooking time will be longer, around 20-25 minutes depending on the size.

What can I dip my air fryer chicken in?

This crunchy chicken is delicious on its own but pairs wonderfully with ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or a homemade garlic aioli for a tasty dipping experience.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes! You can freeze any leftover chicken in an airtight container, separated by a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes.

What sides pair well with air fryer chicken?

Grilled vegetables, quinoa salad, or a simple green salad complement the flavors of the air fryer chicken perfectly. You can also serve this dish with mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
