Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds Chicken pieces, such as chicken drumsticks, chicken thighs, bone-in chicken, boneless chicken thighs, boneless chicken breasts, chicken legs or wings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Pat the 2 pounds Chicken pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the a1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder,1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Roll each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coating and removing excess flour.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for proper air circulation.
  • Lightly mist the chicken with cooking spray or apply a thin layer of oil with an oil mister. You need to coat all of the flour mixutre with oil, or brush the coating with olive oil.
  • Air fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for a cook time of about 20-25 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through. The chicken should be golden brown and crispy.
  • To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Once the cook time is up and the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the air fryer and place chicken on a plate to let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
