Getting Started
- Ensure your air fryer is clean and preheated to prevent cross-contamination if you have severe gluten sensitivity. A dedicated air fryer or thorough cleaning is crucial.
- For extra moisture and flavor in lean cuts like chicken breast, marinate for at least 30 minutes in a gluten-free chicken broth-based mixture before air frying. This also helps prevent drying.
- To achieve maximum crispness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary, allowing hot air to circulate freely around each piece of chicken. Flip halfway through cooking.
- Always check ingredient labels for hidden gluten in spices, marinades, or pre-made sauces. Opt for certified gluten-free products when available, especially for chicken broth.
