Buttermilk Air Fryer Chicken Legs Recipes

CRISPIEST AIR FRYER SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE WITH BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Season Chicken with cornstarch, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, dried thyme, and dried Oregano. Use your hands or a kitchen tong to coat each chicken piece with the spices.
• Now pour the buttermilk and hot sauce on the chicken. Coat your chicken pieces with buttermilk and hot sauce. Now again dredge your chicken into all-purpose flour.
• Now pop it in the freezer for about 45-minutes to 1-hour. This time will help the breading set onto the chicken.
• Grease the pan of the air-fryer with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil generously. Also, brush oil on chicken pieces. Don't leave any dry spot on the chicken with flour.Add them in the air-fryer. Preheat your air-fryer at 350F OR 180C for 3-minutes. Now, cook these chicken pieces at 350F for 20-minutes.Don't keep them too close to each other. Leave some space for the air to circulate in the air-fryer. Check at the 12-minute mark and use a kitchen tong to turn it over. Make sure you don't disturb the breading on the chicken. So do it delicately. Check the temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. If it reaches an internal temperature of 165F then it's done. If not, then continue to cook it for another 10-15 minutes. Timing will vary depending upon your Air-Fryer.
• Once they are done, let them cool down a bit. Serve with some hot sauce or mayonnaise or ketchup. I also like to squeeze some lemon juice on my chicken pieces for that extra juiciness.
