Air Fryer Grilled Chicken

Imagine a weeknight dinner that's not only quick and easy, but also incredibly delicious and healthy. This Air Fryer Grilled Chicken recipe is a modern twist on a classic favorite, designed to fit into the busy life of any mom. Using an air fryer makes this dish extra convenient without compromising on flavor or juiciness.

This recipe was inspired by a traditional grilled chicken that Mom used to make on special weekends. She would marinate the chicken overnight, grill it to perfection, and serve it with a side of fresh vegetables. Over time, she realized that the air fryer could replicate the same smoky, grilled flavors in a fraction of the time. After several tweaks and trials, this air fryer version was born, perfect for busy weeknights when you still want to treat your family to something special.

Now, you can enjoy the same mouthwatering grilled chicken, but with less mess and more convenience. The apple cider vinegar and poultry seasoning add a tangy kick, while the air fryer ensures a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Serve it with your favorite sides, and you've got a meal that's sure to become a family favorite.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • Bone-in chicken pieces
  • 1/2 cup vegetable cooking oil
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1.5 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 beaten egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Beat the egg. Add oil and beat again.
  2. Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least three hours and up to 24 hours. Let the marinade do its thing for at least three hours.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
  5. Place the marinated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket, ensuring they're not touching to allow even cooking.
  6. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the chicken pieces halfway through. Baste the chicken with the leftover marinade during flipping for added flavor.
  7. Check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
