  • 4-10 pieces Chicken Parts (Thighs, Legs, Breast, Wings)
  • 2 cups Buttermilk (or equivalent)
  • ¼-½ cup Hot Sauce (optional)

The coating

  • 1 cup Flour

  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder

  1. Marinate the chicken parts in buttermilk and hot sauce in a sealed bag or bowl in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, corn starch, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for about 3 minutes.
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, and place in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  5. Cook the chicken at 390°F for 30 minutes, spritzing with oil and flipping halfway through.

  7. If cooking in batches, keep cooked chicken warm in the air fryer at a low temperature before serving.
