If you like your fried chicken with a kick, this spicy air fryer fried chicken recipe is for you. Start by marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, and spices for at least 4 hours or overnight. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the coating. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray the basket with cooking oil. Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy. Serve hot with a side of coleslaw or potato wedges for a delicious and spicy meal.
