- 6 Tbsp KFC Spice Blend
- 2 Small Whole Chickens
- 150 g plain flour
- 4 large eggs
- 150 g breadcrumbs

Instructions
- Chop up your whole chickens into drumsticks, thighs, wings, and breasts. Put to one side.

- Toss the chicken in half your KFC rub. Then load chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and then into the breadcrumbs bowl. Make sure each piece of chicken is well coated from each bowl.
- Place the KFC chicken into the air fryer basket on a single layer.

Notes
- Chopping. We chopped a small whole chicken (it weighed slightly more than a Cornish hen) and I recommend you read how to chop up a whole chicken before doing this recipe.
- Alternatively buy a mixture of thighs, drumsticks, wings, and breast and use that instead.
- Reheat. I recommend you check out our reheating KFC chicken guide as its perfect for your leftovers from this recipe and also includes a video.
