FAQs
Can I put raw chicken in the air fryer?

How long should you cook chicken in an air fryer?
For chicken drumsticks, cook them in the air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for about 10 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
Should I coat chicken in oil before air frying?
Yes, it’s a good idea to lightly drizzle or coat the chicken with a bit of cooking oil before air frying. This helps the seasoning stick to the chicken and ensures a crispy exterior.
Is air fryer fried chicken healthy?
Yes, air frying is a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods as it uses significantly less oil, resulting in lower fat content. This recipe, using the Laajawab Fiery Hot Rub, is not only delicious but also a healthier option.
Do air fryers need oil?
While air fryers can cook food without oil, adding a small amount of oil can enhance the texture and flavor of the food, making it crispier. For this recipe, a light drizzle of oil helps the Laajawab Fiery Hot Rub adhere to the chicken and improves the overall result.
Can I put foil in my air fryer?
Yes, you can use foil in an air fryer, but ensure it doesn’t block the airflow. Wrapping the bottom of the basket or placing foil on the lower rack can make cleanup easier and help with even cooking.
