Air-fried chicken is a modern twist on a classic comfort food originally rooted in American Southern cuisine. Prepared using an air fryer, this dish mimics the crispy texture of traditional fried chicken without deep frying. Chicken pieces are seasoned and coated with a light layer of breadcrumbs or flour, then cooked using rapid hot air circulation. This method significantly reduces the amount of oil required, making it lower in fat and calories compared to its deep-fried counterpart. While air-fried chicken retains much of its flavor and crunch, it is generally healthier due to reduced saturated fats, making it appealing for those monitoring cholesterol or calorie intake. However, sodium content and breading ingredients can impact overall nutrition, so opting for whole-grain coatings or limiting added salt can enhance its benefits. Air-fried chicken offers a guilt-free way to enjoy the savory and satisfying taste of this beloved dish.
