Ingredients 

Buttermilk Marinate Ingredients:

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

Flour Mixture Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Chicken:

  • 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts, or boneless chicken thighs

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper
  • Cut the chicken breasts into desired pieces and place them in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for best results.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour-cornstarch mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken pieces in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray.
  • Air fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, delicious air fryer buttermilk fried chicken!
