This is THE BEST air fryer fried chicken recipe out there. Make no mistake this is the real deal. Paula has figured out the unthinkable here. We prefer this in our house over KFC! It is also the easiest way to make chicken full stop! I can't stop making this and as she says in the hilarious video "You will be very happy." I have made this for guests and eaten it cold. The marinade is super simple and NOT HOT AT ALL. Make this and you will be very happy. Again the best air fryer chicken. I've tested the authority America's Test Kitchen and it fails in comparison to this. No mess, no small, no heat.

This was so easy & good! There were no left overs, the house wasn't hot from oil frying and easy clean up!!!

Does this recipe work well using an oven air fryer? Does the chicken come out crispy? Do I need to turn the chicken when using the air fryer basket in the oven?

It should work out just the same! Turn once during cooking and it should come out as crispy as an air fryer!
