To all those looking for ideas to make chicken in your air fryer: this post is for you!

Recipe Ideas

I reached out to those in the food blogging community for recipes that use electric cooking appliances (such as the air fryer), and got a great response. Today, I wanted to showcase 8 recipes that use the air fryer to cook chicken, and give you some options. There is a link provided to each recipe, so that you can go directly to the recipe that you want to try. I have also included links to 2 of my chicken recipes using the air fryer, as well.

The Air Fryer

I love my air fryer, and I am finding more and more people that feel the same way. I wanted to showcase some of the ways this device can help you get a meal on the table. Many air fryer recipes can be used with a convection oven, as they cook in a very similar way (rapid heat being circulated around your food). The rapidly moving air allows your food to brown and get an effect similar to frying.

Surface Oil

To improve the frying and browning effects that the air fryer, your may need a bit of oil on the surface of your food (check the recipe to see if it calls for it). Be sure to use an oil without a bunch of extras (some additives can be harmful to your air fryer). I use Chosen Foods 100% Avocado Oil in a pressurized spray container (available at many grocery stores and at Costco), as it gives me an even spray without anything extra.
