Crispy Chicken in Air Fryer is a truly delicious recipe. It’s a special breading of chicken breast, made with chips… yes, those bagged ones that you eat as a snack. I chose chips flavored with rosemary, but you can choose the ones you like most and prefer, like paprika for example. The chicken can be prepared in many ways, always in an air fryer, like this Chicken Breast in Air Fryer or simply roasted like Lemon Chicken Thighs.
For convenience, I prepared the marinade, which is very quick to make, in the morning before going to work and once I returned in the evening, I focused only on the breading and cooking, but 3/4 hours are enough. Let’s see how to prepare crispy chicken in the air fryer… you’ll see how crunchy it is!

Steps
Marinate the chicken breast cut into chunks in a bowl with paprika, oil, pepper, and a little salt, as the chips are already salty
Mix and cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the chicken in the refrigerator for 3/4 hours
In a food bag, pour the chips and crush them coarsely
In this way, do not crush them into too small pieces
Add the chicken to the bag with the chips and shake well to adhere well, there will be some pieces of chips left at the bottom, also help with your hands to try to attach them all
Now place the chicken on the tray or grill of the air fryer without adding oil
Set the Air Fry program to 350°F for 15 minutes or until desired golden brown

The advice is to eat it immediately to enjoy all its crispiness, but if there are leftovers, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and reheat it at the moment always in the air fryer at 340°F for a few minutes
