Family dinner gets easier when the same ingredient can head in several different directions. These 17 chicken recipes cover crispy wings, creamy casseroles, soup, cutlets, drumsticks, lasagna, fritters, and a whole chicken, so the list does not lean on one style of dinner. Most are ready in under an hour, while a few larger bakes give you enough for extra servings. Two source pages have also changed from air-fryer versions to standard oven recipes, so the roundup keeps the recipe names you supplied while using the current card instructions.
Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets
Golden breadcrumb crust gives Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets plenty of crunch in 26 minutes for six servings. Thin chicken cutlets move through flour, beaten egg, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning before air frying at high heat. Resting the breaded cutlets briefly helps the coating stay in place. Serve them with lemon and parsley, then add pasta, potatoes, or vegetables for a full plate.
