Air Fryer Easy Chicken Parmesan Recipe Tips:

Don’t overstuff your air fryer basket.

For best results, cook food in a single layer so the air circulates and browns the food.

If it doesn’t fit, cook food in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.

Overcrowding food will prevent it from turning crisp.

This recipe involves flipping the chicken over halfway through the cooking.

This is essential to ensure evenly cooked and browned food, on both sides.

The heating element in an air fryer is typically at the top.
