Ingredients:
4 pieces of chicken (thighs or legs with fur)
2 tablespoons olive oil or spray
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
2 tablespoons wheat flour or cornstarch for extra crispiness
Instructions:
- Prep the chicken:
Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces with paper towels to remove excess moisture. - Season:
In a bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Optionally, add the 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch for extra crispiness. Lightly brush each piece of chicken with olive oil and coat completely with the spice mix. - Preheat the Airfryer:
Set the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes. - Cook:
Place the chicken pieces in the Airfryer basket skin side down, making sure they are not touching. Cook for 15 minutes at 180°C.
Turn the chicken pieces over, increase the temperature to 200°C (400°F) and cook for 10-12 minutes more until the skin is golden and crispy. - Review:
Make sure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should be 75°C (165°F).
If you want more crispiness, you can add 2 more minutes.
Serve:
Serve the crispy chicken with a fresh salad, mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Ready! Enjoy golden, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside chicken made in Airfryer!
