Tips:

  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese delivers the best flavor, but you can also use pre-grated cheese if that's all you have.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Preheat the air fryer: This will help the chicken cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Season the chicken generously: This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking: This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
