Frequently Asked Questions

Should I remove skin for this split chicken breast recipe?

Nope! Leaving the skin on the air fryer chicken leg quarters helps lock in the moisture and juices from the meat. I don’t recommend removing the skin unless you absolutely want to.

You should insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should be 165 degrees F; then it’s done.
