Whether you are air frying chicken, roasting a whole bird or whipping up some crispy wings, there is something about fried food that always hits the spot. And thanks to the latest in air fryer technology, you can get that fried goodness without all the extra calories.

Air fryer cooking uses a hot air circulation system that mimics the effect of deep frying with very little added fat or oil. This means you get that golden brown crunchy exterior with a tender, juicy inside. And best of all, your dishes come out in a fraction of the time it takes to cook them in the oven or on the stove.

This chicken and vegetable recipe is the perfect air fryer dinner if you are looking for a quick and healthy meal. The chicken is seasoned with herbs and spices and then paired with loads of vegetables for an amazing flavorful dish. The best part is that it only takes 20 minutes to make which makes this air fryer recipe a great option if you are short on time.

You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or bone-in chicken thighs. The cooking times will be slightly different, so make sure you check your air fryer manufacturer’s recommendations. You can also add other veggies to the pan such as zucchini, brussel sprouts or red peppers for an extra boost of nutrition.

If you are using skinless chicken, it is important to lightly pound the pieces before coating them. This will help to flatten them and make the breading adhere better. It’s also a good idea to spray the chicken with some olive oil before you coat it, as this will help the seasoning to stick.

You will want to cook this chicken for about 18-20 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cook time. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. If you have a quick read thermometer, you can use that to help determine when the chicken is done.

You can serve this delicious fried chicken with a variety of different sauces. Some of my favorite options include white bbq sauce, Peruvian green sauce or lemon butter sauce. This chicken also reheats really well. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or you can place it in a skillet with some water or broth and heat it until warmed through. If you are storing leftover chicken to use for another meal, it is best to keep it in the refrigerator and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
