Air Fryer Chicken: The Easiest, Crispiest Recipe

Pinterest Logo

This Air Fryer Chicken recipe is easy to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Don’t like dill? Swap it out with some oregano or basil. You could even make this using Cajun or Greek seasoning instead of the thyme and dill. Add some paprika if you like! This goes perfectly with mashed cauliflower or potatoes and broccoli or a side of sauteed spinach.
