Your Air Fryer Makes Your Favorite Chicken Recipes Easier Than Ever

Some of our most popular content includes our best chicken dinners and our top air fryer recipes. So we thought—why not combine them!? It’s true, you can make all kinds of chicken meals in your air fryer, and not just dinners. Chicken appetizers, sides, and snacks can be made in there too. Is there anything our favorite little appliance can’t do?

The sky is truly the limit: Craving something snackier (maybe to eat for dinner on game day or at a cocktail party?) Try our chipotle chicken meatballs, our “fried” chicken (just as crispy as in oil!), our chicken tenders, our chicken taquitos, or our Buffalo chicken wings. Need something more all-encompassing for dinner? Try our orange chicken, our chicken Parmesan, our spinach and artichoke stuffed chicken, or our chimichangas. You won’t believe how delicious they come out, with SO much less effort and mess than other recipes.

Into meal prepping? Your air fryer can help you there too. Prep our cilantro-lime Cornish hen (basically just a small chicken), our panko-breaded chicken breast, our sticky glazed chicken thighs, or our rotisserie chicken in your air fryer at the beginning of the week, then add them to your meals all week long. The best part? Most of these recipes take half the time of their oven or stovetop counterparts. Skip heating up your kitchen if you like, or use that space to make one of our great side dishes, casseroles, or apps.
