Air Fried Chicken With Flour Recipes

AIR FRYER CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Combine flour, paprika, parsley, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl.
• Dredge each chicken strip first in the seasoned flour, then in beaten egg, then back in the seasoned flour.
• Place as many strips in the basket as you can without overcrowding. Lightly mist the tops of the strips with cooking spray. Cook for 8 minutes. Flip strips over and lightly mist the tops with more cooking spray. Cook for 8 minutes more. Repeat with any remaining strips.

AIR FRYER FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large resealable plastic bag or container. Add the chicken pieces, seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight, turning the bag once or twice.
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir well with a fork to combine. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture from the bag over the flour and toss well to create small lumps throughout.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with olive oil cooking spray and preheat to 360 degrees F.
• Dredge 3 thighs and 3 drumsticks in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Place the pieces in the preheated air-fryer basket, skin-side up without touching. Spray the chicken generously with the cooking spray and air fry until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crisp and deep golden, about 27 minutes. Check on the chicken halfway through to spray any spots that still look floury with more cooking spray and flip the drumsticks only.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and season lightly with salt. Repeat the dredging and air-frying process with the remaining chicken. if you like, rewarm the first batch in an oven at 250 degrees F for 10 minutes before serving.

AIR FRYER FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a pie plate, 8x8-inch square baking dish, or other wide, shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together in a medium bowl.
• Coat each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, and then in the flour mixture a second time. Gently shake off any excess flour or buttermilk each time you coat the chicken.
• Spray all sides of the chicken pieces with the oil spray, until no more dry flour is visible. I find the easiest way to do this is to place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket, spray one side, and then flip them over and spray the other side. Make sure that the chicken pieces are in a single layer in the air fryer basket and that chicken thighs are skin side down. (Cook in batches if needed to fit the chicken in a single layer.)
• Air fry at 370° F for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces over and cook for 8-15 more minutes, until chicken is crispy and cooked to at least 165° F at the thickest part away from the bone. Serve immediately.

CRISPY LOW-FAT FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix buttermilk and hot sauce.
• Place chicken in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk mixture over it. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Put the seasoned flour either in a large bowl or plastic bag. Dredge chicken in the flour.
• Place chicken in the air fryer basket; spray with oil and cook at 380 degrees F for 30 minutes, turning the chicken half way through the cook time and spraying the turned side with oil.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Remove chicken livers from container, rinse and dry on paper towel.
• Combine the flour, cornstarch and seasonings in a small bowl. Combine the egg and milk in a separate bowl.
• Dip the livers in the milk mixture and then in the flour mixture. Lay on the air fryer tray or basket. Continue until all are complete. Don't crowd the pan when cooking.
• Using the Spray Olive Oil, spray the livers and the flour mixture will start to get moist but not wet and goopy.
• Cook at 390 for 10 minutes. Turn them over at the half way point and see if they need a bit more spray oil. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. They will be a deep golden brown.

AIR FRYER FRIED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise so that you have 6 long, narrow pieces total. Pound each piece to an even 1/2-inch thickness (I like to stretch a piece of plastic wrap over the top first to keep things tidy). Place the pounded chicken in a bowl.
• Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and toss to coat.
• In a wide, shallow bowl (a pie dish works well), combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly blended.
• Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, patting as necessary so that it adheres.
• Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F. Coat the basket with nonstick spray, then arrange the chicken in the basket in a single layer (you will likely need to cook the chicken in two batches. If desired, keep the first batch warm in a 250 degree F oven while you finish the second).
• Air fry the breaded chicken breast on the first side for 4 minutes. Slide out the basket, flip the chicken, then continue cooking for 2 to 5 additional minutes, depending upon the size of your chicken and your air fryer model. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the crumbs should look golden brown (I typically remove my chicken at 160 degrees F, as the temperature will continue to rise as it rests). Enjoy hot.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS WITH CORNSTARCH, FLOUR OR BAKING POWDER

Steps:

• Wash the chicken wings thoroughly. Place them in a large bowl.
• Put the chicken wings in a bowl and season them with black pepper, garlic, salt, and optionally vinegar to absorb the seasonings.
• Coat the chicken wings with flour or cornstarch, remove the excess flour, and then spray them with oil.
• Later, place the chicken wings into the air fryer basket at 400ºF (204ºC) for 20 minutes. Don't stuff the basket, just put one layer, flipping them over halfway through. Prepare batches if necessary.
• Serve with a sauce of your choice! Add French fries or salad to complete the meal.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Review all recipe notes and instructions before beginning.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and set aside. Make the dredging station. You will need 2 shallow bowls or dishes and a plate. In one, whisk together all of the dry ingredients. In the other, whisk together all of the wet ingredients.
• With one hand (left) drop the steak into the flour mixture. Fully coat the steak in the flour mixture, pressing it onto the steak and shaking off any excess flour.
• Drop the steak into the egg mixture.
• Using the other hand (right), remove it from the egg mixture and place it back into the flour mixture. Using the other hand (left), coat the steak in flour once again. Press the mixture into the steak and be sure it is fully coated.
• Shake off any excess and place on the plate.
• Repeat with the other steak. Set the steaks aside for 10 minutes to rest.
• Spray the air fryer basket generously. Heat the empty basket for 5 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Quickly remove the basket and place the steaks in it. Generously spray the tops of the steaks with oil.
• Air fry for 4-6 minutes at 400 degrees. Time will vary depending on air fryer and thickness.
• While the steaks are air frying, prepare the gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until a paste forms.
• Add the milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Simmer on medium low until the gravy reaches desired thickness. It should coat the back of a spoon. Set aside.
• Flip the steaks gently. Spray again lightly with oil. Air fryer for another 6-7 minutes or until the steaks are golden and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
• Serve with gravy on top.
