You can make crispy fried chicken without oil using alternative methods like air frying.

Baking with a crispy coating mimics the texture of fried chicken.

Using a cast-iron skillet with minimal oil can achieve a similar effect.

Oven-frying with a rack helps air circulation for crispy skin.

Air fryers use hot air to cook the chicken evenly without oil.

Coating chicken with breadcrumbs or panko creates a crunchy texture without deep frying.

Grilling can also provide a crispy exterior with minimal fat.

Some recipes use non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and add a little crunch.

The key to oil-free fried chicken is achieving the right temperature and cooking method.
