Crispy chicken in a power air fryer oven is amazing and pretty easy to do as well. I really really dislike baked chicken, but this is the best "baked" chicken I've ever eaten.

After some dealing with the messy bottom tray I finally got wise and now cover it with foil for easier clean up. We all like easy. After all cooking is just one of the many chores in a day, why not make it a little easier.

So first off, cover the bottom drip pan/tray with foil. Secondly set the chicken pieces on paper towel to dry. Once the chicken has been patted dry as well, put it in a large bowl and drizzle about 1 or 2 Tablespoons of oil (depending on how many pieces) over the chicken. Mix well. I use a tongs to toss the chicken in the oil. Place on a wire rack  that sets in a pan, sprinkle with your desired seasonings. I use onion salt and all season salt. Turn the pieces of chicken over and sprinkle the other side. Let set for at least 10 minutes.

Transfer the chicken pieces to the racks of the air fryer oven using a tongs. I make 6 pieces of chicken, placing three pieces on each of two racks.

Place the racks in the oven, using the bottom and center positions. Close the door, set the temp to 375º for 25 minutes for dark meat, 20 for white meat. After that time has past rotate the racks bringing the bottom one to the center and the center rack to the bottom. Setting the oven for 375º at the required time again, after closing the door.

Once the chicken is done, unplug the oven and leave the door open to cool down for clean up. Once the chicken is plated, I like to put the racks in hot soapy water while we eat. It makes cleaning them a snap.  

Enjoy!!!!
