Herb Roast Chicken | Air Fryer Herbed Roast Chicken
The air fryer makes the most crispy chicken with so little oil, and I love to cook my chicken in it. Just look at the beautiful golden color the chicken gets! The chicken cooks quickly so it stays juicy, so you get crispy skin and juicy meat which is the perfect combo. But the one thing to note is that it’s actually difficult to make dry meats in the air fryer and get them to taste good. So for this recipe, I wanted to see about making chicken breast in the air fryer without drying it out. You MUST leave the skin on! Do NOT take the skin off when cooking. If you don’t want to eat it afterward, you can take it off. But allow it to cook with the skin on so you get some natural basting from that chicken skin. Also, be sure to use a meat thermometer so you aren’t overcooking the chicken. If you overcook it, it will definitely dry out. Feel free to spray with oil while cooking to keep the surface moist and evenly browning if you need. The herbs and spices used in this are paprika, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Simple right? Combine that with butter and some lemon wedges and that’s really all you need to make this recipe. Classic Herb Roast Chicken in very little time that comes out perfect in the air fryer.
