Air Fryer Chicken Recipes
Do you own an air fryer? Around here, it’s easily one of our most-used kitchen tools—especially when it comes to making crispy, juicy air fryer chicken. Whether you’re cooking up weeknight meals or prepping protein for the week, this little countertop hero gets it done fast.
Air frying is a smart way to get that golden, satisfying crunch without deep frying. It uses less oil, cooks quickly, and frees up your oven for everything else. From sides to snacks to full dinners, the air fryer can do it all—especially when chicken’s on the menu.
Some of our favorite air fryer chicken recipes include:
Chicken Tenders in the Air Fryer – Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and ready in minutes.
Air Fry Chicken Cutlets – Perfectly breaded, golden cutlets that taste like comfort food without the grease.
Chicken Patties in Air Fryer – A freezer-friendly go-to for fast lunches and kid-approved dinners.
Air Fryer Chicken Fajita – Bold, spicy, and ideal for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.
Chicken Sausage in the Air Fryer – A protein-packed option that’s great for breakfast, meal prep, or quick bowls.
Most of our air fryer chicken recipes are tested in multiple air fryer models, including a Philips 2.75-quart basket style, Cosori 5.8-quart, and a Cuisinart toaster oven-style air fryer. If there are any model-specific notes, you’ll find them right in the recipe—so you can cook with confidence no matter what brand you use.
