Air-Fryer Chicken Parmesan Tips

Can you put raw chicken in an air fryer?

Like in this recipe, you can cook raw chicken in an air fryer. Just remember to flip the chicken breast halfway through for even browning!

Can you use breading in an air fryer?

Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer?

You can put aluminum foil in an air fryer, but we recommend avoiding it if possible. The foil can block airflow and cause uneven cooking. Only use foil if the recipe calls for it. (Find even more air-fryer recipes to love!)
