Some Questions You Might Have About Air Fry Chicken
How Long To Cook Chicken Breasts In The Air Fryer
Cook time will depend on the size of the chicken breast you are using and the recipe you are following, but a good general cook time is about 15-20 minutes.

How To Fry Chicken In The Air Fryer
If you think an air fryer will produce the exact same result as a deep fryer, it won’t. However, it will make a delicious and crispy chicken that is very close to “fried chicken”. It’s usually dredged in egg and then breaded with either panko or flour, then cooked in the air fryer.
It’s much healthier because the amount of oil used to make chicken in the air fryer is far less than the amount used for deep frying or pan frying methods.
