    Title: Air Fryer Fried Chicken
    Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Herbs
    Yield: 5 servings

    MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
    4 lb Drumsticks or leg quarters;
    - split
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1 ts Ground black pepper
    2 c Buttermilk

    MMMMM--------------------------COATING-------------------------------
    2 c A-P flour
    1 tb Lawry's season salt
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1 ts Ground black pepper
    1 tb Garlic powder
    1 tb Paprika
    Spray olive oil for cooking

    MARINATE THE CHICKEN: Season the chicken well with salt
    and pepper and then add it to a bowl with buttermilk.
    Chicken pieces should be covered with the buttermilk.
    Let it sit for at least an hour or up to overnight.

    BREAD THE CHICKEN: To prepare the breading mixture, stir
    together flour, seasoned salt, salt, pepper, garlic
    powder, and paprika.

    Remove chicken pieces from buttermilk and shake off any
    excess; then dip in the flour mix and coat well.
    Transfer breaded chicken pieces to a clean plate or wire
    rack to rest.

    AIR-FRY THE CHICKEN: You will need to work in two
    batches if you are doing a full chicken. Spray the
    basket of your air fryer with nonstick spray. Place half
    of the pieces in the basket of your air fryer. Try to
    ensure the pieces don't touch. Air needs to circulate
    around them.

    UDD NOTE: If you have a tabletop toaster oven w/fan you
    can use it as an "air fryer". Or a fan-forced regular
    oven.

    Spray the chicken pieces lightly with spray oil. Place
    the basket in the air fryer and turn the air fryer to
    350ºF/175ºC. Cook for 14 minutes, then flip the fried
    chicken with tongs, spray lightly with oil a second time
    on the bottom side of the chicken, and cook for another
    10 to 12 minutes, until chicken reaches 175ºF/80ºC.

    SIMPLE TIP! During the air frying process, if you pull
    out the chicken and notice any dry flour spots on the
    chicken, spray those spots lightly with oil. The
    breading will never crisp up if it doesn't have a tiny
    bit of oil to hydrate it. It will just burn.

    SERVE: When the fried chicken is ready, let it rest on
    a plate for a few minutes before serving. Serve
    immediately with salad, coleslaw, mashed potatoes,
    or your favorite fried chicken sides!

    Cooked fried chicken can be stored in the fridge for 5
    days and reheated in a 300ºF/150ºC oven for 8 to 10
    minutes.

    Makes: 4 to 6 servings
