Enjoy a light yet flavorful twist on classic fried chicken! This crispy air-fried buttermilk chicken is marinated in tangy buttermilk and coated with a delicate panko crust, then air-fried to perfection. The result is a golden, crunchy exterior with tender, juicy chicken inside – a satisfying meal perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (approx. 170g)
1/2 cup Buttermilk (120g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil spray
Spices: Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
In a shallow dish, pour the buttermilk. Add half of the spice mix (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) and whisk to combine.
Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for best flavor.
In a second shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining spices.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil on both sides to enhance crisping.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
