Air frying poultry: what you need to know
Poultry is one of the best foods to cook in an air fryer. The circulating hot air crisps the skin beautifully without added oil, while keeping the inside juicy — something that is surprisingly hard to achieve in a conventional oven without drying out the meat. The key is not overcrowding the basket: chicken pieces need space around them for the hot air to circulate on all sides. Always check that the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving. If the exterior is browning faster than the inside is cooking through, lower the temperature by 10–15°F and add a few minutes.
