Notes
- Make sure to fully coat all the chicken, so there aren't any gaps in the breading.
- Spray your air fryer basket with a little oil before putting the chicken in, so that it doesn't stick to the basket.
- Make sure that there is enough space between the chicken in your air fryer basket. There needs to be space for the air to circulate and for the chicken to get crispy.
- Once you have flipped the chicken halfway, check on it after 5 minutes to make sure that it isn't burning, as every air fryer cooks differently.
- Preheat your air fryer first to ensure it will cook evenly.
- Spray the chicken with oil before cooking, as it will give a crispier coating.
- If you need to cook these in batches, then you can keep the cooked ones warm in the oven on a low heat until the rest are ready.
