Air Fryer Fried Chicken
Crispy Air Fryer Fried Chicken is golden and crunchy on the outside and juicy inside, with all the flavor of classic fried chicken without deep frying.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in drumsticks (skin removed)
- 2 ½ cups bran flakes (4 ½ ounces* (or gluten-free crushed corn flakes))
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt (less if you are using regular salt, divided)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise (Hellman's )
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Season chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Crush the cereal in a food processor or chopper until fine.
- In a mixing bowl combine the crushed cereal with the remaining salt, paprika, garlic powder and dried parsley, if using. Place in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.
- Using a cooking brush, brush mayo onto the chicken then coat the chicken with crushed cereal mixture.
- Place in the air fryer basket and spray the tops of the chicken with oil. Air fry 370°F 22 to 24 minutes, turning the chicken halfway and spraying the top again, until the crumbs are golden and the chicken is cooked through.
