Air Fryer Fried Chicken
What you need
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in drumsticks (skin removed)
- 2 ½ cups bran flakes (4 ½ ounces* (or gluten-free crushed corn flakes))
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt (less if you are using regular salt, divided)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise (Hellman's )
- olive oil spray
In the correct order
Instructions
- Season chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Crush the cereal in a food processor or chopper until fine.
- In a mixing bowl combine the crushed cereal with the remaining salt, paprika, garlic powder and dried parsley, if using. Place in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.
- Using a cooking brush, brush mayo onto the chicken then coat the chicken with crushed cereal mixture.
- Place in the air fryer basket and spray the tops of the chicken with oil. Air fry 370°F 22 to 24 minutes, turning the chicken halfway and spraying the top again, until the crumbs are golden and the chicken is cooked through.
