Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken thighs
  • ¾ cup Buttermilk for soaking
  • 1 cup Flour
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp dried herbs
  • Oil as needed for brushing or spraying

Instructions 

  • Clean the chicken pieces and wipe with paper towels to remove the excess moisture. Draw slits all over the chicken. Soak the chicken in buttermilk for 30 mins.
  • In a bowl add All-purpose flour.
  • Along with the flour add garlic powder, Onion powder, Paprika powder, Pepper powder, dried herbs, and the required salt. Combine everything.
  • To this add 3 tbsp of buttermilk and mix. The flour mixture will now have some clumps and this gives a great texture to the chicken.
  • Take the chicken from the buttermilk and coat it in the flour mixture. Make sure it coats all over the chicken completely. You can also stuff inside the slits.
  • Now Preheat the air fryer to 392 F/200 °C for 5 mins. Spray Cooking oil or brush in oil to the air fryer basket. Place the flour-coated chicken pieces on the air fryer basket. Spray oil on the chicken. Make sure the chicken is not touching each other.
  • Air Fry the Chicken at 356 F / 180 °C for 20 -22 mins. Flip the chicken once halfway and brush in some oil. The cooking time may vary if you use smaller chicken pieces hence adjust accordingly. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F/74°C.
