Since chicken is table-pleaser among all generations and provides nutrient benefits such as 9 essential amino acids. So, we decided to start with an air fryer fried chicken recipe that is easy to make, and you can serve them as snacks. [1]

Many chicken recipes need to adapt better when it comes to the air fryer, but fried chicken works very well. Let’s try and see if it is worth it! Ingredients: Fryer chicken, Kosher salt, ground black pepper, Buttermilk, flour, egg, garlic powder, olive oil spray, paprika, season salt (such as Lawry’s).

How to make Air fryer fried chicken

1. To start, season the chicken with salt and pepper, then take a bowl, add Buttermilk and eggs, and whisk. Now put the chicken pieces in a bowl that they should cover with Buttermilk. Then put it aside for at least one hour or may overnight.

2-.Take another bowl and stir flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to prepare the breading mixture. Remove chicken pieces from the Buttermilk, dislodge any excess, and then dip in the mixture and coat well. Then transfer the breaded chicken piece to a separate clean plate.

3. Spray the chicken pieces lightly with spray oil and a basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray. Now place the basket in the air fryer and set it to 350°F. After cooking for 14 minutes, flip the fried chicken and spray lightly with oil on the bottom side of the chicken and again cook for 10 to 14 minutes, until dark meat reaches 175°F and white meat reaches 165°F.

During the air frying process, when you pull out the chicken and catch sight of any dry flour spots on the chicken, then you must spray those spots with oil. If breading has no oil to hydrate, it will never crisp. It will just burn.

4. Once done, transfer the fried chicken to the plate a few minutes before serving. Now serve crispy and delicious fried chicken with salad, mashed potatoes, or your favorite sauce.

How to make Air fryer brussels sprouts

1. Start pruning the tough stems off every brussels sprout and removing yellowing outer leaves. Now cut the brussel sprout in half through the stem and core. Transfer the brussel sprout to a bowl with the hottest temperature water, not boiling water, and cover it. Let the brussel sprout soak for at least 15 minutes to lessen the bitterness and trap some moisture between leaves during frying, which turns to steam and makes the sprouts tender.

2. Preheat the fryer to 375°F. Transfer the soaked Brussels sprouts to a colander to remove moisture outside the sprouts, and place the bustle sprouts in a bowl.

3. Take another bowl and add spices such as olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Now toss the Brussels sprouts with spice mix until well coated.

4. Put the Brussels sprouts in an air fryer basket, then cook at 375°F for about 12 minutes. Make sure sprouts are tender, and outside leaves are golden brown and crisp before tossing halfway.

5. Serve the Brussels sprout on a plate while crispy with your favorite sauce.
