Easy Air Fryer Chicken : Crispy Outside, Juicy Inside
Easy peasy no-oil crispy fried chicken. Infuse the brine with bay leaf or your favorite spices.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the water for brining. Add bay leaves in the water. Then insert a bay leaf in each of the chicken thighs, under the skin.
- 2
Brine the chicken thighs for 2-3 hours. The general rule of salt to water ratio is too much for the three thighs so I just used enough water to submerge all 3 pieces then scattered salt all around the top and the sides. About 2-3 tablespoons. Then left it inside the fridge for 3 hours.
- 3
Discard the brine and transfer the chicken to a dry container. Let it drip dry.
- 4
Season with your choice of marinade. I used kalamansi lemon and few drops of Knorr liquid seasoning. Use fingers to spread on both sides.
- 5
In a container prepare your choice of seasoned flour for coating the chicken. Sprinkle some on both sides, close the lid and shake until chicken is coated. note: leave the bay leaves under the chicken skin and remove after air frying.
- 6
Pre heat the Air Fryer. Cook using the chicken setting, flipping half way if needed, depends on your AF brand.
Then with the skin side up towards the heating element, air fry for an additional 5-7 mins (or until it looks done/crispy to you) at 200•C

Crispy and Juicy Fried Chicken Crispy and Juicy Fried Chicken
I tried many, many times to make delicious fried chicken without using store-bought fried chicken seasoning.When you're coat chicken with katakuriko, put 2-3 chicken thighs in an inflated plastic bag and shake them right before frying. This way, the chicken will get coated with just the right amount of katakuriko and it'll come out crispy and juicy. Recipe by *3103* cookpad.japan -
