Air Fryer Fried Chicken

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce.
   • Add the chicken pieces to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
   • Cover and refrigerate for 1-24 hours to marinate.
2. Prepare the Seasoning:
   • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken:
   • Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
   • Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
4. Cook in the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (if required).
   • Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for even cooking.
   • Lightly spray the chicken with oil.
   • Cook for 25 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through and spraying with oil again.
5. Check Doneness:
   • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
