Crispy Airfryer Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

4 pieces of chicken (thighs or legs with fur)

2 tablespoons olive oil or spray

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked paprika)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)

2 tablespoons wheat flour or cornstarch for extra crispiness

Instructions:

1. Prep the chicken:

Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. Season:

In a bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.

Optionally, add the 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch for extra crispiness. Lightly brush each piece of chicken with olive oil and coat completely with the spice mix.

3. Preheat the Airfryer:

Set the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.

4. Cook:

Place the chicken pieces in the Airfryer basket skin side down, making sure they are not touching. Cook for 15 minutes at 180°C.

Turn the chicken pieces over, increase the temperature to 200°C (400°F) and cook for 10-12 minutes more until the skin is golden and crispy.

5. Review:

Make sure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should be 75°C (165°F).

If you want more crispiness, you can add 2 more minutes.

Serve:

Serve the crispy chicken with a fresh salad, mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Ready! Enjoy golden, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside chicken made in Airfryer!
