air fryer fried chicken recipe

Here’s a tasty air fryer fried chicken recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (such as drumsticks or thighs)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions:

1. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Remove a piece of chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the flour. Shake off any excess flour.
5. Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch each other. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
6. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or olive oil spray to help with browning and crisping.
7. Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through the cooking time. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces.
10. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the crust to set and remain crispy.
11. Serve the air fryer fried chicken hot as a main dish. It pairs well with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or your favorite side dishes.
