Hot take: the whole "air fryer chicken breast is always dry" thing is a myth

I read a blog from America's Test Kitchen that said air fryers actually retain moisture better than ovens if you brine first - tried it with a 1 hour salt water soak and my chicken came out juicier than my pan fried version. Has anyone else tested this or got a go-to brine ratio they swear by?

Wait, America's Test Kitchen actually said that? I thought they hated air fryers.

I did the 1 hour salt soak and it was the juiciest chicken I've ever had.

Hour soak crew checking in. Salt really does do the thing.
