To get chicken that is both tender and crispy, there's nothing better than cooking it in an air fryer! It's THE simple, effective, and healthy way to prepare a meal for the whole family. Here, we've simply marinated it with olive oil and a few spices, but you can flavor it with whatever herbs you like! Once cooked, all you have to do is serve the chicken pieces with a portion of vegetables or salad and a portion of rice or pasta, and that's it :-)
