FRIED CHICKEN IN AIR FRYER RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 10 pieces. Place in a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper. Add 2 cups buttermilk and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon kosher salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon ground mustard together in a large bowl.
• Preheat an Instant Vortex Plus 7-in-1 Air Fryer Oven to 390ºF. Coat the air fryer racks with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, shaking any excess off. Place a single layer of chicken in the basket, with space in between the pieces. Air fry, flipping the chicken hallway through, until crispy and an instant-read thermometer registers 165ºF in the thickest piece, 18 to 20 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Steps:

• Trim chicken of excess fat and place in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, and 2 teaspoons salt.  Pour mixture over chicken, making sure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.  In a shallow bowl or pie dish, combine flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and seasonings. Working with one at a time, remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off excess buttermilk. Place in flour mixture, turning to coat.  Place coated chicken in basket of air fryer, working in batches as necessary to not overcrowd the basket. Cook at 400° until chicken is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.  Repeat with remaining chicken.
