When it comes comes to chicken, one typically likes roasting chicken thighs because they stay so juicy. Chicken breasts have a reputation for drying out, but an air fryer keeps that from happening. The quick cook time means chicken is tender and the breading gets extra crispy from the intense air circulation inside an air fryer.
