Ingredients For Air Fryer KFC Chicken
Chicken Ingredients:
- one cup of buttermilk
- Two big eggs
- 1/2 cup of flour for all purposes
- half a cup cornflour
- Eight sections of wings, legs, thighs, or breasts
Adding flavour Blend:
- Three tsp of paprika
- Half a spoonful of powdered garlic
- One tablespoon of powdered onion
- Two teaspoons of salt,
- Two teaspoons celery salt
- Two teaspoons black pepper
- Two tsp Mustard Powder
- two tsp finely chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions:
- Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together in a large bowl.
- Combine the flour, cornflour, paprika, onion and garlic powders, salt, celery salt, pepper, mustard, ginger, thyme, basil, and oregano in a separate bowl. Mix by whisking.
- For five minutes, preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees.
- Allow any excess buttermilk mixture to drip off of your chicken as you dip it in.
- Next, to ensure that the flour sticks, lay the chicken into the flour mixture and press the flour onto the chicken. Get rid of any extra.
- After giving the basket a quick mist of olive oil, put the chicken inside. Give your chicken a liberal dousing of cooking spray. For 25 to 30 minutes, air fry, turning halfway through and reapplying frying spray.
- When the chicken hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is golden brown on the outside, it is done.
- Arrange, present, and savour!
Tips:
- After letting the buttermilk marinate, shake off any extra.
- Using your hands, pat your coating mixture to ensure it adheres. It will adhere better to the buttermilk as a result.
- Put the chicken in the air fryer in batches. To cook chicken to perfection, heated air is circulated over it in an air fryer. Your basket won’t crisp up if it is crowded.
- To ensure that the KFC air fryer chicken is cooked uniformly on both sides, flip the chicken halfway through the cooking procedure.
