Can I cook chicken and halloumi together in the air fryer?

Yes, chicken and halloumi cook beautifully together in the air fryer. Just make sure to cut them into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly and the halloumi turns golden without drying out.

What cut of chicken is best for this air fryer recipe?

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts both work well. Thighs are juicier and more forgiving in the air fryer, especially when paired with a sticky glaze like honey and sriracha.

Will the halloumi go rubbery in the air fryer?

Not if cooked correctly. Halloumi becomes golden and slightly crispy in the air fryer when cooked at the right temperature — around 180–190°C for 8–10 minutes.

How spicy is the sriracha in this recipe?

Sriracha adds a mild-to-medium heat with a slight sweetness. You can adjust the spice level by using less or adding more honey to balance the heat.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can marinate the chicken in advance and store it in the fridge. However, for the best texture, cook the chicken and halloumi just before serving.

How long does it take to cook in the air fryer?

Cook the chicken for around 12–15 minutes at 190°C, shaking halfway through. Add the halloumi in the final 6–8 minutes to avoid overcooking it.

What should I serve with honey halloumi sriracha chicken?

It’s delicious with rice, salad, flatbreads, or air-fried veg. You can also turn it into wraps or bowls for a quick, protein-packed meal.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

To make it dairy-free, simply omit the halloumi or use a dairy-free cheese alternative that’s suitable for air frying.

Is this a healthy chicken recipe?

Yes — this air fryer chicken recipe is lighter than deep-fried options and full of flavour. Using lean chicken, moderate honey, and halloumi adds protein and taste without excess oil.

Can I use low-fat halloumi?

Yes, light halloumi works well in the air fryer. It may not brown as much as full-fat versions but still gives a great texture and taste.
