Who’s ready for air fryer chicken recipes? It’s no surprise that chicken is the most frequently eaten meat in the United States.
It’s delicious, a source of lean protein and very versatile! Versatility means it’s easy to cook chicken several times per week and never get bored with it.
That versatility also includes cooking it in an air fryer. In just a few minutes you can have a deliciously cooked dinner ready for the family.
By using warm air that circulates over your chicken, an air fryer can keep the interior nice and moist while creating a crispy exterior.
Plus, you get those results without having to use a lot of added oil. That’s a big bonus!

If you haven’t yet purchased a hot air fryer, I recommend doing a bit of research as to which one to choose.
There are differences as to the quantity you can cook at once, how much counter space is needed for the airfryer, control panel options and, of course, price.
One of the most highly rated air fryers is the Ninja Air Fryer. It holds up well when comparing the food it cooks to traditionally deep-fried foods and it has a 4-quart ceramic-coated basket.

I have the PowerXL Vortex Air Fryer. I like that it cooks evenly, is easy to use AND easy to clean.
Also, I LOVE the bright red color! (It’s also available in black if red isn’t your thing.)
When you choose your air fryer, think about everything you want to cook in it. Consider the features and size you need, then read reviews on the model you’re considering before making your final purchase decision.
Important Air Fryer Accessories
Before we get on to the recipes, one other thing I want to recommend is an Air Fryer Accessories Kit. While you can make tons of things in your air fryer just how it comes out of the box, having a few accessories gives you lots more options, makes cooking easier and can make your foods turn out even better.
Accessories like a pizza pan (which works for a lot more than pizza!), egg bite molds, muffin cups, metal racks, cake barrel, and silicone mats can all be extra helpful. While you can buy accessories individually, you’ll save a lot more if you buy them as a kit like this one:
