Choose wings, drumsticks, cutlets, tenders or skewers for your next chicken dinner. The seasonings range from lemon and herbs to peanut sauce and berbere spice. Check the individual recipes for marinating time and basket capacity before you start.
1. Air Fryer Crispy Tandoori Chicken Wings
Tandoori seasoning coats chicken wings cooked in the air fryer. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap to promote even airflow and crispiness.
2. Air Fryer Spicy Jamaican Jerk Chicken Drumsticks
Jerk seasoning gives these chicken drumsticks their spicy flavor. Place drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crisping.
3. Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken Cutlets
A Parmesan coating forms the crust on these chicken cutlets. Place coated chicken cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
4. Air Fryer Herb and Garlic Roasted Chicken Thighs with Crispy Skin
Garlic and herbs season chicken thighs with the skin left on. Pat the chicken thighs thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
5. Air Fryer Herb-Crusted Chicken Thighs with Garlic Butter Sauce
Herb-crusted chicken thighs are served with a garlic-butter sauce. Coat each chicken thigh evenly with the herb crust mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crust on all sides.
6. Air Fryer Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs with Garlic and Rosemary
Lemon, garlic and rosemary season these chicken thighs, which marinate in the refrigerator before air frying. The recipe also offers an optional freezer preparation; thaw the marinated chicken in the refrigerator if using that option.
7. Air Fryer Chicken Satay Skewers with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Chicken satay skewers are served with a peanut dipping sauce. Arrange skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
8. Air Fryer Spicy Ethiopian Doro Wat Chicken Drumsticks
Berbere-style seasoning gives these Doro Wat-inspired drumsticks their character. Arrange the marinated drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal air circulation.
9. Air Fryer Crispy Coconut and Almond Flour Chicken Tenders
Coconut and almond flour coat these chicken tenders. Press the chicken tender firmly into the coconut and almond flour mixture, coating evenly on all sides.
10. Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Chicken Skewers
Parmesan coats small chicken pieces threaded onto skewers. Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the Parmesan-almond flour mixture.
Choose what to make
Wings and drumsticks give you bone-in portions, while cutlets and tenders offer a coated option. Choose satay when you want a separate dipping sauce, and check skewers fit your basket before assembling them.
