Air-fried chicken is a flavorful and healthier take on a beloved comfort food classic. Originating from Southern United States cuisine, it's typically prepared by coating chicken pieces with a seasoned breadcrumb or flour mixture, then cooking them in an air fryer to replicate the crispiness of traditional fried chicken—without the need for excessive oil. By using hot air circulation to achieve a crunchy exterior, this method significantly reduces fat content compared to deep frying. Air-fried chicken is often packed with protein and can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs for added flavor without extra calories. While lower in saturated fat, it can still be high in sodium if pre-made coatings or marinades are used, so opting for DIY blends can help control the salt content. This dish pairs well with fresh vegetables or whole-grain sides for a balanced and satisfying meal.
