Brining:
Brining is entirely optional, but you’ll be glad you did. This flavor is amazing!
Chicken Options:
Bone-in or boneless? Skin on or skinless? We know there are a lot of choices here. Skin on and bone-in chicken always has more flavor, and we highly recommend it. You can always use boneless chicken, but you do need skin on. This is a difficult combination to find, but if you want to go boneless you can buy regular bone-in chicken thighs and then cut out the bone yourself. All you need is a good pair of kitchen shears!
Can I use different cuts of chicken?
You absolutely can! We love to stick to drumsticks and thighs, but you can always air fry chicken breasts and wings if you prefer.
Stovetop Frying?

Why is there hot sauce in Air Fryer Fried Chicken?
This may seem like an odd ingredient in fried chicken, but trust us, you need to add it. It doesn’t add any heat, but it does take this fried chicken flavor over the top! If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious and easy chicken recipes:
