Crispy fried chicken in the air fryer

Instructions

  • 1.Chicken marinade

    In a large bowl, mix the chicken with the buttermilk.
    Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for more tenderness.

  • 2.Breading preparation

    In a plastic bag or large bowl, mix the flour with all the spices (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper).

  • 3.Breading the chicken

    Drain the chicken pieces from the marinade.
    Coat them in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing well to make the breading stick.
    Shake off the excess.

  • 4.Air fryer cooking

    Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.
    Generously spray the breaded chicken pieces with oil spray.
    Arrange them in the basket without overlapping.
    Cook 12 minutes, flip, spray with oil again and continue cooking 10-12 minutes until nicely golden (internal temperature should reach 75°C).

    💡 **Tip**: For this step, we recommend this product Rechargeable oil sprayer which will make the job easier!

  • 5.Serving

    Serve immediately with your favorite sauce (barbecue, honey mustard, ranch) and pair with homemade fries or coleslaw.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

Tips for perfect fried chicken!

✔ The buttermilk marinade tenderizes the meat and makes it juicier.
✔ Spray generously with oil for a nicely golden breading.
✔ Don't overcrowd the basket for even cooking.
✔ Let the pieces rest on a rack for a few minutes for maximum crispiness.

Spice variations

Customize your spice blend by adding cayenne pepper for more heat, herbes de Provence for a Mediterranean touch, or curry for an Indian version!
