If the weather is just right and the windows are open, anyone in the vicinity is starting to catch a whiff of what’s cooking on your stove. And it is making them hungry. It’s making them want to rush home and do the same thing – fry up some chicken for dinner. Warm and crispy, tender and juicy fried chicken!

Ingredients

Canola, Coconut, or Peanut Oil
4 Chicken Legs
1 Egg
1 tsp. Seasoning Salt
1 cup All Purpose Flour

Method

01

Preheat your Air Fryer to 380 degrees F. Make sure each piece of chicken is dry by patting them with a paper towel. Then set the pieces on a plate or a shallow tray.
02

Pour the following ingredients into a large bowl. 1½ Tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning, a cup flour, and 1 teaspoon seasoning salt. Whisk them together thoroughly. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg. Put the chicken pieces through a 3-step dredging process. First, drop a few pieces into the flour mixture and return them to the tray. Continue this process until all pieces have been dredged in the flour. Next, in the same way, dredge them in the egg. Finally, drop them back into the flour for a final coating and shake off the excess flour.
03

Finally, spray all of the pieces of chicken with the oil. Be sure that each piece gets covered completely. Place the chicken into the bottom of the Air Fryer cooking compartment on the grate. Set your Air Fryer to cook for 25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 180 degrees F. Use an instant meat thermometer to be sure it has reached 180 degrees F. It is going to be hot, so be careful as you remove the fried chicken from Air Fryer. Serve hot.
