Why the Air Fryer Changed Chicken Forever

The air fryer delivers crispy results with a fraction of the oil. It's faster than the oven and easier to clean up than a skillet.

Chicken thighs, wings, and tenders all come out perfectly in the air fryer. The circulating hot air creates that golden crust everyone loves.

On Pepper, home cooks share and master their favorite air fryer chicken recipes, building a trusted collection of crispy, juicy results.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Don't overcrowd the basket

    Air needs to circulate. Cook in batches if needed for maximum crispiness.

  2. 2

    Pat chicken dry first

    Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Use paper towels to dry thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Use a light oil spray

    A quick spritz of avocado or olive oil spray helps achieve golden-brown results.

  4. 4

    Flip halfway through

    Most recipes benefit from a flip at the halfway mark for even cooking.
