How long should I cook the chicken?

Since every air fryer is different and will cook at different times, the best thing is to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Before removing it from the air fryer.

Do You Have To Flip The Chicken in the Air Fryer?

Yes, always. Why do you ask? Because it helps to get the food cooked perfectly both back and front. This is one of the best reasons to spray your air fryer basket or tray with olive oil, so when you do flip the chicken, the coating (if used) will not stick.

Can You Put Raw Chicken in the Air Fryer?

Yes. All raw food can go into the air fryer. Just make sure the meat thermometer is used to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked.

How To Make This Chicken Dish Ahead of Time

This is easy, of course, you make these ahead of time. That makes for a great meal prep meal. Simply,

Refrigerator: You can store these cooked in an airtight container for about 3 to 4 days. Then when you are ready to reheat them, place them in the air fryer, and heat them up.

You might want to make a new batch of the sauce, so you can baste them while they are cooking and serve it as a dipping sauce.
