Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Thighs
Tender chicken thighs marinated in tangy buttermilk and air-fried to achieve a golden, shatteringly crisp crust without the heavy grease.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a medium bowl and pour the low-fat buttermilk over them, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the buttermilk to tenderize the meat.
In a shallow plate, combine the whole wheat flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, whisking until well incorporated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and lightly mist the basket with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
Remove each chicken thigh from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then press firmly into the flour mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden and the internal temperature hits 165°F.
