Time 3h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups buttermilk
6 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
6 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

Combine the buttermilk, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large resealable plastic bag or container. Add the chicken pieces, seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight, turning the bag once or twice.
When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir well with a fork to combine. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture from the bag over the flour and toss well to create small lumps throughout.
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with olive oil cooking spray and preheat to 360 degrees F.
Dredge 3 thighs and 3 drumsticks in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Place the pieces in the preheated air-fryer basket, skin-side up without touching. Spray the chicken generously with the cooking spray and air fry until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crisp and deep golden, about 27 minutes. Check on the chicken halfway through to spray any spots that still look floury with more cooking spray and flip the drumsticks only.
When the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and season lightly with salt. Repeat the dredging and air-frying process with the remaining chicken. if you like, rewarm the first batch in an oven at 250 degrees F for 10 minutes before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 11

WHAT YOU NEED
chicken thighs and drumsticks (as many as you need to feed your family, I did up 12 pieces)
3 bowls for flour and 1 for the eggs
3 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp seasoning salt
2 tsp garlic (I used granulated garlic)
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp La Grille barbecue chicken spice
pepper and salt
2 eggs beaten with about 1/4 cup milk

Steps:

1. In one bow,l add 1 cup flour and season with salt and pepper. In another bowl beat the eggs and add milk, in your 3rd bowl add the remaining 2 cups flour, and all the seasons and mix well.
2. Coat your chicken first in the flour and salt and pepper mixture, then in the eggs, and then in the 2 cup flour mixture. Set them on a plate. Continue to do this until all chicken is coated.
3. Add chicken pieces to the air fryer basket. Lightly spritz with Pam or I use an oil spritzer. I did overlap my chicken and you can, just make sure you do turn the chicken and rearrange them 2 times during the cooking process.
4. Press the Power Button & adjust cooking time to 35 minutes at 360 degrees. Keep in mind that I cooked 12 pieces of chicken so your time might be less if you have less chicken.
5. If you don't have an air fryer, I highly recommend you get one. They are so much healthier for you than frying foods or using a deep fryer. The chicken turned out amazing - juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
