Air-Fryer Southern-Style Chicken Tips
How long should you cook chicken in an air fryer?
How long you should cook chicken in an air fryer really depends on your brand of air fryer and the recipe itself. In our testing, we have found cook times vary dramatically between brands of air fryers. As a result, we have given wider than normal ranges on suggested cook times. Begin checking at the first time listed and adjust as needed. Most chicken will take about 20-25 min or until it reaches 165F.
Is air fried chicken healthy?
Air-fried chicken isn’t necessarily healthy, but it cuts down on calories from fat that would otherwise be used to deep-fry foods, like
classic fried chicken. So, with
the way air fryers work, the recipes made in them are slimmed down compared to conventionally fried ones, and that’s what a lot of us are looking for these days: to save calories while eating food that tastes great.
Can you air fry frozen chicken?
Putting frozen chicken in the air fryer is safe and doable. Once your chicken is prepped, preheat the air fryer to 360F. Cook for 20-25 min or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
