Why you’ll Love Garlic Honey Chicken in the Air Fryer?
We use this air fryer for this recipe to get that nice crispy skin on the outside of the chicken without using a deep fryer. Air fryers use hot air, kind of like the convection setting on your oven, to cook the chicken, resulting in perfectly cooked and golden brown goodness. Plus, it helps the garlic honey sauce to develop a glaze-like finish on the outside of the chicken.
