Amazing Buttermilk Air Fried Chicken Recipes

AIR FRYER BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs in a shallow casserole dish. Pour buttermilk over chicken and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large gallon-sized resealable bag. Dredge chicken thighs in seasoned flour. Dip back into the buttermilk, then coat with panko bread crumbs.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the chicken thighs in the basket, making sure none are touching. Spray the top of each chicken thigh with cooking spray.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes. Flip. Spray tops of chicken again. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Repeat with remaining chicken.

AIR FRYER BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and 1 teaspoon each garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken and thyme sprigs and let marinate 8 hours or overnight.
• Stir together the chopped thyme, flour, paprika, oregano, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder in a large baking dish; season generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of the buttermilk marinade over the flour mixture, mixing with a fork until craggy in texture.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dip in the flour mixture to coat well, then transfer to a plate.
• Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 375˚ F. Coat half of the chicken with cooking spray; arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook until crispy, 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook the remaining chicken. Serve with potato salad and cornbread.
