This recipe for crispy air fryer fried chicken will give you the perfect combination of juicy meat and a crunchy, golden-brown coating. Start by marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of buttermilk, garlic, and spices for at least 4 hours or overnight. In a separate bowl, combine flour, 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 your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
