INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
In a shallow dish, combine the buttermilk with half of the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it is fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with the remaining paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour until evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray to help it crisp up.
Air-fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
