<\/p>\nHow Do You Prepare Air-Fried Chicken Fajitas?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
- \n
- Set the Air Fryer to 200\u00b0C\/390\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Prepare the veggies (be careful not to slice them too thin or they will burn), then cut the chicken into strips (see illustration below).<\/li>\n
- Next, add oil and fajita seasoning to everything. Apply a good amount of fajita seasoning, making sure to coat everything thoroughly.<\/li>\n
- Put in the basket of the Air Fryer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/airfryer-tips.us\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/HHHGHY-300x169.webp\")
<\/p>\nShake the basket halfway during the 15 minutes of air fry time at 390\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). You may need to air fried the chicken for a few more minutes because the cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the strips and the brand of air fryer you use (see below for more information on monitoring the doneness of the chicken).<\/p>\n
Take care not to fill your Air Fryer basket too full. The food will \u201csteam\u201d instead of \u201cbake\u201d and burn if you put layers upon layers of chicken and vegetables in the basket.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nHow to Tell Whether Chicken Is Done<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Using a fork and knife, carefully cut into a tiny piece of chicken to check if the meat is cooked through all the way through.<\/p>\n
However, a kitchen thermometer is the most reliable tool for confirming whether your chicken is now safe to consume. The internal temperature of the chicken should read 165\u00b0F (75\u00b0C) when the thermometer is simply inserted into the center of the chicken piece. Simply place it back in the oven and cook for a further two to three minutes, then check to see whether it has achieved that temperature.<\/p>\n
