Notes
- Make sure your chicken is totally dry before adding the dry seasoning on. Any liquid makes your recipe come out a watery mess as well as ruining the texture.
- Only use a dry seasoning rub, any liquid marinades will affect the outcome of the recipe and won’t work well.
- Don’t skip the brining part if using fresh chicken, this ensures a juicy and moist texture.
- Air fryer chicken is definitely a healthy option. Especially compared to oil frying. It reduces the amount of fat significantly, so it is a great option if you are trying to reduce your fat intake.
- I recommend that you do use good olive oil, like Mina olive oil to coat your chicken before cooking. This helps to both lock the flavor in as well as prevent sticking.
- Yes absolutely, I recommend you do cook your chicken raw if you want the best, most flavorsome results in the air fryer.
- This recipe can be cooked in several ways. While I think the air fryer is the best, most convenient way, you can fry this chicken in a skillet, grill, or bake it in the oven with great results.
- You can cook as many as you can in one layer without the chicken breasts touching each other. This is likely to be between 2-3 medium chicken breasts, However, you may be able to fit in more or less depending on breast and air fryer size.
- In this recipe, I've chosen to serve the chicken breasts with broccoli. However, this is such a versatile recipe that you can almost serve it with anything from mixed vegetables to mashed potatoes and fries.
