How to get crispy skin on an air fryer chicken

You can cook a whole chicken in an air fryer in under an hour, depending on the size of the chicken and your particular air fryer. To get crispy skin, pat the skin dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, then sprinkle salt on both sides. Lay three or four chicken skins in a single layer, skin-side down, on the air fryer basket and program the air fryer to cook at 400°F for a total of 12 minutes. Halfway through, flip the chicken skins over so they are skin-side up. Air fry the chicken skins for another 6 minutes or until crispy. You can add a minute or two to the cooking time if the skin is still a little flabby in parts.

Bone-in chicken is harder to dry out or overcook, and it also takes longer than boneless chicken, which is a good thing when trying to achieve crispier skin.
