HOW TO COOK CHICKEN IN AN AIR FRYER
Air fryers are very popular these days! Almost every household has an air fryer or is thinking about buying one for their home. The good news is that cooking chicken in the air fryer is quite easy! Here are some tips for cooking chicken in an air fryer.
FROZEN CHICKEN IN AN AIR FRYER
If you want to cook frozen chicken in an air fryer, you will need to preheat the air fryer to around 390 degrees. The frozen chicken breast will need to cook for around 20-25 minutes. If you have more than one chicken breast, you will need to cook it longer.
FRESH CHICKEN IN AN AIR FRYER
To make fresh chicken in an air fryer, you will need to preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. You will want to season the chicken before putting it in the air fryer. Put the chicken in the air fryer basket for 7 minutes. Once it’s cooked for 7 minutes, you will want to flip it over and cook it for another 4 minutes.
Start by cutting your breasts in half, and then use a mallet to thin our your chicken. It will come out better if it’s thinner in the air fryer.
