Learn how to make delicious airfryer buttermilk chicken. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

To create this delicious dish, you’ll need a handful of simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional, for a little kick)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray

These ingredients come together to create a marinade and coating that will make your chicken irresistibly flavorful. The buttermilk is a nod to Nonna Rosa’s secret to tender poultry, while the hot sauce is my little twist, adding a playful heat reminiscent of my culinary adventures in Spain.

Instructions

Embarking on this culinary journey is simple, and each step is infused with the warmth and love that was ever-present in my family kitchen. Here’s how to bring this dish to life:

1. **Marinate the Chicken**: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

2. **Prepare the Coating**: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This blend of spices is inspired by the aromatic herbs that filled Nonna Rosa’s garden.

3. **Coat the Chicken**: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

4. **Preheat the Air Fryer**: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.

5. **Cook the Chicken**: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook for 10 minutes, flip, then cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

These steps will guide you to a dish that is both satisfying and reminiscent of the comforting meals shared around my family table.
