Ready to meal plan? Read on for our favorite foolproof ways to cook chicken in an air fryer.
Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings with Hot Honey Glaze
The key to these perfectly crispy chicken wings is to cook them in two batches, ensuring they’re not overcrowded in the air fryer. The wings are first tossed with lemon pepper, then coated with a buttery hot honey glaze and served with more of the glaze for dipping.
Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan
Our air-fried Chicken Parmesan yields crisp, juicy chicken and ultra-melty cheese that balances tangy tomato sauce. The dish is on the table in under an hour.
Air Fryer Roast Chicken with Rosemary-Orange Sauce
A dry brine of citrus zest, herbs, and salt ensures this roast chicken skin gets nice and crispy in the air fryer; the meat stays moist thanks to citrus wedges stuffed inside the cavity. The bird cooks in only 45 minutes — just enough time to set the table, pour the wine, and make a gravy from the drippings while the chicken rests.
Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs develop a crispy, crackling skin when cooked in the air fryer. Season the thighs evenly with salt, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder, or your own favorite combination of spices.
Air Fryer Fried Chicken with Hot Honey
Fried chicken without a grease-splattered stove? Yes, please! Start with a hot sauce-buttermilk soak, then coat the chicken thighs with a well-seasoned flour mixture. After a dip in beaten eggs and a final coating in the flour, the air fryer will take it from there.
Air Fryer Chicken Breasts
Air-frying chicken gives you the ease of cooking something in the oven but with the speed of sautéing. Use this chicken in tacos, soup, salads, pasta, or rice.
Air-Fried Buffalo Wings
Cook Buffalo wings skin-side up in your air fryer for maximum crispiness, then toss them in a buttery hot sauce and serve with creamy blue cheese sauce for the classic crowd pleaser.
