BEST FRIED CHICKEN AIR FRYER recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten

• Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Season Flour: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten eggs, then dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
5. Air Fry: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Place the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece.
6. Cook: Air fry the chicken thighs at 380°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
7. Check Doneness: To ensure the chicken is cooked through, you can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the fried chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Enjoy: Serve your crispy air fryer fried chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread….
