I mostly think of meat probes as BBQ tools, but could one help with air fryer chicken and joints?

Yes, especially for whole chicken, pork joints and thicker cuts. MEATER Plus Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer works as a general cooking thermometer, not just a BBQ gadget

Just check temperature limits and placement before using any probe in a compact air fryer

For small items it is overkill, but for bigger pieces it can save a meal. Wireless? Way over engineered lol

Have you tried the infrared ones? They are cheap versions of this concept but they only read surface temp, which is useless for ensuring chicken is cooked through. People often get confused between surface probes and internal thermostats. If you are buying a new gadget for this, ensure the probe head is stainless steel and the receiver connects to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, not just a basic wireless signal that cuts out if the fryer is shielded. Also, check that the probe is short enough to fit in the basket, or you will be doing a weird acrobatic movement every five minutes >:(
