Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Crispier Skin 🌊
Remove excess moisture from the chicken with paper towels before air frying—this is crucial for achieving that delectably crispy skin in just 30 minutes.
Lemon Inside and Out 🍋
Stuff half a lemon inside the cavity and rub lemon juice on the skin with oil to infuse flavor throughout while the acids help tenderize the meat.
Kosher Salt Application Technique 🧂
Season the chicken generously inside and out 15-30 minutes before cooking, allowing the kosher salt crystals to dissolve and penetrate deeper for superior flavor development.
Oil Distribution for Even Cooking 🛢️
Brush oil evenly across all surfaces and especially into crevices and under the wings to ensure consistent crisping and prevent any dry spots during air frying.
Flip for Optimal Crispness ⏱️
Flip the chicken breast-side down halfway through cooking to direct heat evenly and maximize crispy skin development on both sides without drying out the meat.
