My air fryer chicken went from sad and dry to crispy perfection in just 3 tries

First batch came out like leather, second was somehow still raw in the middle. Third time I finally figured out to pat the skin dry with paper towels and spray a little oil on top, and it came out golden and crunchy. Anyone else have a weird simple fix that made all the difference?

Oh man, I had the exact same problem with my air fryer! I finally started flipping everything halfway through and that one little thing fixed all my issues.

Wait, is not flipping your food halfway through the cook really that big of a deal in an air fryer? I mean, I toss stuff around sometimes but I didn't think it was a make-or-break thing.
