Notes

  • To store. Chicken cutlets made in the air fryer can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To reheat. Reheat your cutlets in the air fryer at 400°F for 2-3 minutes for the best results. You can also use the microwave if regaining the crispy texture doesn't matter as much to you.
