1. Air Fryer Chicken with Dry Spice Rub
A dry spice rub does the work here, so there is no marinating and no sauce to make. Good when you want the flavor without another bowl to wash. Recipe from The Flavours of Kitchen.
2. Air Fryer Chicken Breasts
This one brines the chicken first, which is the trick to a breast that does not dry out. Worth the extra step. Recipe from Diethood.

Straightforward chicken breast in the air fryer. The main thing is getting the pieces to a similar thickness so they all finish at the same time. Recipe from Tasty Air Fryer Recipes.
4. Best Air Fryer Whole Chicken
A whole chicken done rotisserie style without a rotisserie. Crispy skin, and it feeds the whole table. Recipe from Berry Maple.

Chicken parmesan with the crunch and none of the frying. My kind of shortcut. Recipe from Julie’s Eats and Treats.
