Notes
Preheating the air fryer helps it reach the optimum temperature for when you add the chicken, ensuring even cooking.
Make sure you toss the air fryer basket a couple of times during cooking. This ensures the chicken is coated with a sugar and paprika mixture to even out the flavor.
If you have any leftovers then make sure they have cooled completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven, microwave, or air fryer for a couple of minutes.
