Imagine the best fried chicken you've ever had. Now imagine if it wasn't even fried. Crazy, right? Not with this easy air-fryer fried chicken recipe! The air fryer works some kind of magic on the chicken, and it crisps up into perfectly crunchy chicken as if it had been deep-fried. That buttermilk marinade makes the chicken so tender and juicy and gives it just the right amount of heat. It might just be our favorite chicken recipe ever.

INGREDIENTS :
2 lb. bone-in skin-on chicken pieces (mix of cuts)
2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. hot sauce
3 tsp. kosher salt, divided
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS :
1. Trim chicken of excess fat and place in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, and 2 teaspoons salt.
2. Pour mixture over chicken, making sure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
3. In a shallow bowl or pie dish, combine flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and seasonings. Working with one at a time, remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off excess buttermilk. Place in flour mixture, turning to coat.
