What do you need to make air fried
chicken in the air fryer
Chicken: You can use your favorite chicken cut. Half or whole (double recipe for this) chicken (skin), or chicken wings, legs, or a slice of your favorite chicken.
Buttermilk:
Buttermilk is used to soften chicken and break down protein, resulting in a
juicy tasty chicken. If you do not have buttermilk, scroll down to the DIY Whey
recipe 5 minutes below.
Flour
and Corn Flour: Coated with a mixture of chicken flour and
cornflour ensures a super crunch on the outside. Cornstarch helps the chicken
to turn brown on the outside and forms a seal that holds the fruit juice inside
the chicken. If you do not have corn, you can use the flour until next time.
Spices:
Spices are important in this recipe because they convey the taste of chicken
and make the chicken like your favorite fried chicken restaurant. It may look
like we use a lot of spices, but trust me, the result is amazing and every bite
is worth it!
Hot
Sauce: Hot sauce adds flavor and color to the chicken and gives
it an extra kick of spice. This is completely optional, but highly recommended
for maximum flavor! Use your favorite hot sauce or choose Frank.

- Working with 1 piece at a time, rub the chicken flour mixture and press the dough over the chicken to form a thick layer. Transfer chicken to preheated air fryer in a single layer without overlapping. You may have to work in blocks as needed.
- Sprinkle the chicken generously with oil or pour oil over it. You should use a generous enough crust to cover all the bread or the dough will not cook and make a crispy crust. If at any time you see raw flour while cooking, go ahead and brush with some more oil. Too much oil you apple crunchy crust.
