Air-fried chicken is a lighter twist on the beloved crispy chicken dish often associated with American and Southern cuisine. Prepared using minimal oil, it utilizes hot air circulation technology to create a crunchy exterior while locking in tenderness inside. Typically, air-fried chicken is made from skinless chicken pieces, coated in a blend of breadcrumbs, flour, and spices. By skipping deep frying, this method significantly reduces the calorie and fat content compared to traditional fried chicken, making it a healthier choice for those watching their intake. It retains high-quality protein, essential for muscle maintenance and overall health, but the final nutritional content depends on the type of coating ingredients and added seasonings, which can vary in sodium levels. Air-fried chicken offers a flavorful, guilt-free alternative, combining the pleasure of crispy perfection with more nutritional mindfulness.
