Can I Use Frozen Chicken Breast?
Yes, you can.
However, I recommend thawing the frozen chicken breast first before coating it with spices and then cooking it in the air fryer.
From my experience, this results in a better texture than putting the frozen chicken directly into the air fryer.
Do I Need to Preheat the Air Fryer?
Yes, preheating is important.
Every time I use the air fryer, I make sure to preheat it.
Set the air fryer to 170°C (340°F) and preheat for 3-5 minutes. This ensures more even cooking for your food.
