A few years ago, the idea of making a healthier version of fried chicken that could actually live up to real fried chicken seemed almost impossible. Enter the air fryer, the countertop appliance that has won the hearts of home cooks everywhere. Air fryers have become so popular that nearly every major appliance brand has a version of one, and some of them do so much more than fry.
So how do you get perfectly fried chicken in an air fryer? It all comes down to avoiding some pretty common mistakes. From forgetting to preheat to digging in too soon, these are the mistakes everyone makes cooking fried chicken in the air fryer.

@alexblaze8878 Жыл бұрын

So you clean the outer 1 mm surface depth of the chicken while the other 99% of the inside has the same “slime”. Washing chicken does nothing to clean it of bacteria, only cooking at the right time and temperature does that. Washing the outside of a raw chicken piece might make you feel better but it doesn’t actually do anything.

Thanks for the tips, but i would be remiss if I didn't address the claim at the 2:09 time stamp pertaining to cleaning chicken. Claudia Sidoti got it wrong with that claim, washing it with "ONLY" H20; might be an issue. However, if one use lemon or vinegar in the cleaning process, it help stave off a problem coupled with the cooking.

This thing about not washing chicken before cooking is nonsense. I've been cooking for over 30 years,always washed my food before cooking it and I've never had food poisoning. The key is to wash your hands before & after and clean your food prep area as soon as you've finished washing/cleaning/seasoning your meat,fish or poultry before you even start cooking.

@krieglich 4 ай бұрын

So your scientific approach is because you never had food poisoning that has to be the official canon? 30 years ago, health organizations also recommended washing chicken, but this approach is explicitly no longer recommended since a few years, the reasons for this were given in the video. So that's not "nonsense", you should simply question your approach every few years. And if not just don't give advice to others.

@whyputaname Жыл бұрын

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I am going to keep on washing my chicken. There is something called cleaning the spaces that were used and your hands.. I know it must be new to some people but it does work.. Ohh and make sure you pat them dry - the chicken after washing under cold water.

Pro tip from this video, yes, you're supposed to spray "raw breaded fried chicken" with cooking oil spray, otherwise you get seared flour lol.. I've seen this happen way too often. Spray oil onto your food before you air fry it!!! Also, YES, do wash your chicken before cooking it... heard this from someone who works at a facility: chicken falls off conveyor belts on a regular basis and they are put back on the belt and end up in the package. let's just say, worker's boots step everywhere, picking up old blood, soil, even walking into the bathroom... and then walk next to conveyor belts inspecting the chicken (these floors are not cleaned regularly)... if a chicken falls, it picks this stuff up and you end up eating it.

You are right, but the advice not to wash is really for white people who used to put a chicken in the kitchen sink and then run the tap on it, thereby splashing bacteria contaminated water all over the countertop.

We got a ninja airfryer, it's excellent advice to remind people that the airfryer cook's the outside very fast when on high temperature but the inside may not be fully cooked. In order to remedy this situation without costing too much its better to cook some foods like chicken at a lower temperature for longer to ensure more even cooking throughout. The inside takes longer to cook. Alternatively, use the Microwave to cook the inside and then crisp up with the airfryer.
