Notes
- Choose chicken portions that are equal in size, pat them dry before the egg and breadcrumb steps. Gently press breadcrumbs into the meat to ensure the entire piece is coated.
- Always be sure to preheat the air fryer and avoid crowding the basket or pan. The key to that perfectly crispy exterior is the hot circulating around the chicken.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken at the thickest portion and ensure it reaches 165°F.
- If you will be keeping leftovers, the sauce can be added when reheating instead.
