Chicken

Tips for cooking chicken

• Preheat the air fryer for 2-3 minutes before adding food — it gives a more consistent crust.
• Shake or flip halfway through cooking so the underside gets exposed to direct airflow.
• Pat ingredients dry before seasoning; surface moisture steams instead of crisping.
• Don't overcrowd — a single layer with small gaps crisps better than a packed basket.
• Use a light spritz of oil rather than pouring; excess oil pools and smokes.
