Notes
- Marinate the chicken. It's best to marinade the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking, if not overnight.
- For best results, place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure an even cook.
- Cook the chicken to no more than 170 degrees F. Any longer and the chicken can begin to dry out. Use a meat thermometer by sticking it into the thickest part of the chicken to check the temperature.
- Cooking time may vary depending on air fryer models. Be sure to check the temperature of the chicken after 20 minutes.
- Cooked chicken, when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, should be consumed within 3-4 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer for 15 minutes to allow the chicken to come to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and to maintain the crispy texture. Reheating in the microwave may lead to soggy chicken.
