Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information.

• Chicken Breast, Thighs, or Drumsticks: The dish’s star, your choice of chicken cut (breast, thighs, or drumsticks), is the canvas for this delectable recipe. Each cut brings unique flavor and texture, with chicken breasts offering lean tenderness, thighs boasting succulence, and drumsticks providing a satisfying meaty bite.

• Parsley: Fresh parsley, finely chopped, adds a burst of herbaceous freshness to the dish, enhancing its visual appeal and providing a delightful herbal note to complement the honey mustard glaze.
• Butter: Melted butter is used to help adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken and contribute to the overall richness and crispiness of the dish.
• Garlic Powder: Garlic powder infuses the chicken with a subtle garlic aroma and flavor, elevating its taste profile with a savory note.
• Salt: Salt is a fundamental seasoning that enhances the dish’s overall flavor, ensuring the chicken is properly seasoned.
• Black Pepper: Ground black pepper adds a hint of mild spiciness and complexity to the flavor profile, complementing the sweetness of the honey mustard glaze.

How To Make Air Fryer Crispy Honey Mustard Chicken

This simple yet flavorful recipe delivers crispy, honey mustard-coated chicken that’s sure to satisfy your taste buds. Enjoy your homemade air fryer masterpiece!

Start by cleaning off the chicken, removing all of the visible fat. Rinse the chicken and then cut it into 6-inch pieces. Spread the honey mustard generously over the chicken.

Mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Then dip the coated (with the honey mustard) chicken into the breadcrumb mixture. As you coat them, place them in your air fryer basket.

After you finish breading all of the chicken, spray REALLY GENEROUSLY the chicken with olive oil spray (see my suggestion above)

Set the temperature to 370 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 10 to 14 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken before removing it.

What to serve with Honey Mustard Chicken

This is a great recipe that really goes well with anything, from a plate of mashed potatoes, stuffing, or even a simple side garden salad.

This also makes for great leftovers. This makes for a great chicken salad sandwich, or use the shredded chicken for a buffalo chicken wrap.

What’s the best cut of chicken to use?

This recipe will work with anything. The first time I prepared it, I used a simple chicken breast, but then I went back and made this recipe with chicken thighs.

This is a great recipe, but you will need to adjust the cooking time to the type of chicken you are using.

Remember to use your meat thermometer and check the internal temperature, which should read about 165 degrees F.

How to get succulent chicken in the air fryer

The best way to get any chicken juicy in the Air fryer is to make sure that you cook it just until the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. If you wait and do not watch your chicken, it will become dried out!

Another great tip is that you really need to spray your chicken coating with cooking spray, so it perfectly crisps ups!
