HEALTHY AIR FRIED BUFFALO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 380°F and lightly grease basket with cooking or avocado spray.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and then place a shallow bowl.
• Pour the buffalo sauce on top and use kitchen tongs to flip chicken breasts to ensure they are completely coated. Season with salt and pepper and let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Once the air fryer is heated, evenly space out the chicken breast into the basket, breast side down (the smooth side).
• Air fry for 10 minutes, then with kitchen tongs and cook for another 4 - 6 minutes. I used medium 7-ounce chicken breasts and cooked for a total of 15 minutes. They will be done once the internal temp reaches 165°F and the outside is crisp. DO NOT overcook, it will be dry.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and enjoy with a side of your favorite grain and vegetable.

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
• Set out three separate bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and salt. In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, add the panko breading.
• Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally, the panko.
• Place chicken in a single even layer in the basket of the air fryer. (Work in batches if your air fryer isn't large enough).
• Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and top with buffalo sauce. Gently toss to coat.
• OPTIONAL: Place the chicken back in the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes if you want them crispier.
• Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: If the wings are whole, remove the wing tips at the joint and save them for stock. Then cut each wing into 2 pieces: the drumette and the flat. Give them a rinse in cold water and pat dry with single-use paper towels. Place the wings in a medium bowl then sprinkle with the baking soda, garlic powder, paprika and a heavy pinch each of salt and pepper and massage into the wings for about 30 seconds. You can cover and refrigerate them for up to overnight if not using immediately.
• When ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees. Add the canola oil to the wings and massage to coat, about 30 seconds.
• Insert the air fry basket into the air fryer. Place the wings in the basket, making sure none of the wings are touching. (Air needs to circulate around each one in order to crisp.)
• Air fry for about 12 minutes, open the fryer, then give the wings a stir to make sure they are browning. Cook until "GBD" (golden brown and delicious), 6 to 8 minutes.
• While the wings are cooking, make the sauce: Place all the ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Give the sauce a good stir to combine well.
• When the wings are cooked, carefully transfer them to the sauce bowl. Toss to coat very well, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately with celery sticks, chunky blue cheese dressing and ranch dressing.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the fryer basket so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the drumettes standing upright along the sides). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings with tongs and cook for 12 minutes more. Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, warm the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce.
• Toss the wings with the butter mixture to coat in a large bowl and serve with dressing on the side.

AIR FRYER FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large resealable plastic bag or container. Add the chicken pieces, seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight, turning the bag once or twice.
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir well with a fork to combine. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture from the bag over the flour and toss well to create small lumps throughout.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with olive oil cooking spray and preheat to 360 degrees F.
• Dredge 3 thighs and 3 drumsticks in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Place the pieces in the preheated air-fryer basket, skin-side up without touching. Spray the chicken generously with the cooking spray and air fry until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crisp and deep golden, about 27 minutes. Check on the chicken halfway through to spray any spots that still look floury with more cooking spray and flip the drumsticks only.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and season lightly with salt. Repeat the dredging and air-frying process with the remaining chicken. if you like, rewarm the first batch in an oven at 250 degrees F for 10 minutes before serving.

AIR-FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 300°. Cut chicken wings into 3 sections; discard wing tip sections. In batches, arrange wings in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 15 minutes. Increase temperature to 400°; cook until chicken juices run clear and wings are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. , Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in hot sauce and spices. Place chicken in a large bowl; add sauce and toss to coat. Remove to a serving plate with a slotted spoon. Serve with celery and ranch dressing if desired.

AIR-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss the chicken thighs in the oil, making sure they are all well-coated.
• Mix the flour with the seasoning, then toss with the chicken thighs - it will be a very light coating, but you can double the flour and seasoning if you prefer a thicker coating.
• Arrange the chicken in one layer on the tray of an air fryer without a paddle, and program to cook for 35 mins. Check the thighs are cooked by pulling the flesh on the underside of one away from the bone - it should come away easily and there should be no pink remaining. Cook for another 5-10 mins if needed. The skin should have bubbled and crisped up, and any excess fat from the chicken will have dripped into the base of the fryer (you can discard this). Don't leave the chicken in the fryer, or the steam will make the skin soft again.
