Pollo frito or fried chicken is the ultimate comfort food! I prefer making it in the air fryer because it eliminates having to use an excessive amount of oil, making this dish much healthier. Also, it’s super easy to make in the air fryer. While the chicken cooks, I prepare a side dish and vegetable and dinner is served in less than 30 minutes. My go-to sides for this meal are white rice y habichuelas guisadas. Save this recipe for an easy weeknight meal everyone will enjoy!
