Crispy Air-Fried Chicken
Who says fried chicken has to be deep fried? Not at all. My delicious crispy chicken thighs are bursting with flavour and are on par with the best fried chicken we all love eating. You will absolutely love this recipe. If you do not have an air-fryer then an oven works perfectly too. Happy cooking!
Recipe, makes 8 thighs
· 8-10 skin on chicken thighs
· 2 ½ tbsp plain flour
· 1 tbsp baking powder
· 1 ½ tsp garlic granules
· 2 tsp smoked paprika
· ½ tbsp chicken powder/seasoning
· ½ tsp black pepper powder
· ½ tsp salt or to taste
· 1 tsp cumin powder

Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C if you are not using an air fryer
2. Mix together plain flour, chicken powder/seasoning, baking powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin powder, garlic granules and salt and mix well
3. Coat each of the chicken thighs generously in the dry mixture and put onto a tray
4. Use a spray oil to spray the air-fryer rack or oven tray
5. Place chicken into air fryer basket or oven tray and spray a few more times with the spray oil
6. Cook in the air fryer for 20 minutes (turn over and spray with a little more oil half way through). If using an oven, cook for 40-45 minutes also turning over and spraying with oil half way through)
7. Once chicken thighs are crisp and cooked perfectly, remove from the air-fryer/oven and dig in!
