Yes! You can make this in the Air fryer! Follow the recipe when it comes to marinating and seasoning. After your chicken is breaded, spray it with an olive oil spray then place your chicken in the Air Fryer basket that has been preheated to 370 degrees. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. When you flip your chicken, spray it again with olive oil spray.
