"But if you ask us, air fryers are here to stay: They're a great way to cook a wide variety of foods, and they can help you get a crispiness and texture that can otherwise be difficult to achieve. But one of our all-time favorite ingredients to cook in the air fryer? Chicken. Whether you're making crispy chicken wings that are destined to be tossed in buffalo sauce, or you just want a more interesting way to prepare chicken breast,"
"This can help you cut back on fat and calories in your food, which is a goal for some home cooks. However, some home cooks mistakenly assume that when you use an air fryer, you don't actually have to use any oil or fat at all. In reality, though, omitting the oil from your air fryer chicken recipe entirely can be a big mistake, per Emmy Clinton of Entirely Emmy."
Air fryers deliver crispiness and texture for many foods and are particularly effective for cooking chicken, from wings to breasts. Air fryers require less oil than traditional frying, which can reduce fat and calories, but they still need some oil to brown and crisp properly. Completely omitting oil from air-fryer chicken frequently causes disappointing texture and appearance. Many cooks mistakenly assume air frying requires no oil, but adding a small amount helps achieve even browning and better results when preparing chicken in an air fryer.
