Crispy Air Fryer Fried Chicken
Report
Air Fryer Fried Chicken is super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with no deep-frying needed! Just crunchy, golden brown goodness loaded with flavor from the spices and buttermilk-ranch marinade!

Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1/2 whole chicken cut into separate pieces: breast, thigh, wing, and leg
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Seasoning:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Others:
- Oil for spraying the air fryer
Instructions
Marinate:
- Mix the marinade ingredients and add the chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or better, up to 24 hours.
Seasoning:
- In a large shallow bowl, whisk together all the Seasoning ingredients. Set aside.
Prep the Chicken:
- Place a parchment liner in the Air Fryer basket.
- Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade and toss it into the Seasoning mixture, coating all sides of the chicken, and shake off.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in the basket in a single layer. For the BEST results, do not overlap and do not place them too close to each other.
Air Fry:
- Close the Air Fryer basket and set the temperature to 390 degrees Fahrenheit and the timer to 25 minutes.
- After 13 minutes, open the air fryer and spray with oil. Spray any "seasoning spots" left too dry on the chicken. Flip the chicken and spray the other side with oil spray as well.
- Close the Air Fryer and cook for 12 more minutes. Please keep in mind that cooking time may vary depending on the Air Fryer brand. That's why it is important to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
- Once the timer is up, please open it and check the chicken temperature with a kitchen thermometer. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees at the thickest part of the chicken.
- Some breading will fall off, which is expected. However, much less breading falls off when using the parchment liners.
