Notes
- Make sure you flatten the chicken with a rolling pin before breading, as this will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- For best results, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes after breading it.
- Make sure to generously coat the chicken in breadcrumbs so that every part of the chicken is covered.
- Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket too, so they chicken doesn't get stuck to it.
- Generously spray all the chicken with oil, so that it will all get nice and crispy.
- Cooking times will depend on the size of your chicken breast.
- Every air fryer is different too, so check the FAQs out below for our tips on how to know when the chicken is cooked.
- Rest the chicken for 2 minutes before cutting.
