Do you need to flip the chicken in the air fryer?
Technically you don’t need to because the air in an air fryer circulates around, but for even crispiness and presentation, I recommend it. Start cooking the chicken rounded side down then flip it to finish rounded side up so it looks pretty and golden.
What can I serve with air fried chicken breasts?
Since you have the air fryer out, why not try:
Air fryer asparagus
Air fryer brussels sprouts
Air fryer roasted broccoli
Air fryer parmesan wedge fries
How do I reheat chicken breasts in the air fryer?
To reheat already cooked chicken breasts in the air fryer, let the breasts heat up at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
