Mattys airfryer chicken came about because my girl Pam brought it over cause she didn’t have room in her apartment for an wasn’t using it. I figured what the hell people rant and rave about these things. So I set out to learn how to use this thing and that I have. It really surprises me how this thing can pretty much duplicate certain textures and flavors without the added things to call it junk food. Crunchy and juicy just like a deep fryer. If you sit down and learn how to use an Air Fryer it really can fill an empty void without all the mess.

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 pounds chicken pieces of your choice
  • Salt and pepper chicken to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

  • Salt and pepper chicken pieces to taste.
  • Cover chicken with the garlic powder and smoked paprika and baking powder. The baking powder is essential to making the chicken super crispy as it pulls moisture from the skin. Once the chicken is coated with the spices and the baking powder let it sit about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spray your air fryer basket with and olive oil mist Or wipe with a paper towel with a little bit of oil on it to prevent sticking. Put all chicken parts into your air fryer trying not to overlap them. I like to spray the chicken with an olive oil mist but you can use cooking spray if that’s all you have. You must sprayed the chicken with the oil or cooking spray it is part of the process to get the chicken nice and golden crispy.
  • Turn on your air fryer and set temperature to 385° for 35 to 40 minutes flipping the chicken ones halfway through and spraying the chicken again with the olive oil missed or cooking spray once you flip it. That’s all.
  • Enjoy

    I would be helpful to see pics of how you place the meats or veggies in the airfryer.

      Thank you Arlene.

      In the future posts i will actually do that. As far as placing this in the air fryer what i do is I preheat the air fryer first and right before I put the chicken in the basket i spray the basket with a little bit of oil. I use one of those oil misters but you can use any oil or nonstick spray. Then i just lay the chicken in the basket. I try not to overcrowd the chicken because you want the heat from the air fryer to be able to circulate. Then i spray the chicken with the oil mister halfway through cook time and flip the chicken.

      Hope that helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and thanks for your constructive comment 🙂

    Hi there, this chicken looks really good, but I have an air-fryer oven. The chicken would be placed differently on the racks. Can you tell me how this needs to be done if possible? Thanks.

      Well I dont think that it really matters if your using the airfryer or the airfryer oven. As long as the chicken isnt so crowded and you are getting airflow between the pieces I think all will be fine.

    Made it last night. So easy and really tasty. It’s just two of us, so I made five pieces of chicken at 380 degrees for 35 min—20 on the first side and 15 after flipping the pieces. Turned out just perfect.

    I’ve tried air fryer chicken before and they always want you to buy buttermilk (which I don’t use for anything else) and make a mess. I loved how EASY this was.

    It’s already gone into my “keeper” recipe file.
