Drool! This air fryer chicken turned out so good! No gross oil smell you get after deep frying chicken. I used a little seasoned salt and tossed drumsticks and thighs in my air fryer using the steps in this recipe. It was so good, I definitely will make again.
Crispy and delicious. Not gonna lie, nothing compares to real fried chicken but this is the next best thing. I am trying to clean up the way I eat, so now I can enjoy one of my favorite foods but without the extra calories and clogged arteries, ha! I just used seasoned salt to keep it simple and really liked the way it turned out.
