    Alright, what’s the recipe?

    I really need to make chicken and waffles sometime. I have a great waffle maker, but I’m sure as shit not going to actually deep fry chicken.

      Your timing might be way different, so go with what your air fryer says. But here it is:

      • 2 large chicken breasts OR 8 thighs OR 8 legs
      • 1 1/2 cup of flour
      • 1 teaspoon of basil (to taste, you can use oregano with it or instead of)
      • 1 teaspoon of onion flakes
      • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
      • 1/2 teaspoon of salt (you may need to adjust this to taste)
      • 3-4 small eggs I do cauliflower too. Do 3 if you’re only doing chicken
      • 2 or 3 tablespoons of melted butter, depending on how much your air frying
      • 1 bag

      Directions:

      • Whisk the eggs with a fork and put it in a flat bowl.
      • Put about 1/4 of the flour/herb mix in a large plastic bag. Have a spoon in the 3/4 of the four that’s left so you can add it as needed.
      • Dunk the breast in the egg and then put it in the bag and shake. Take the breast out of the bag and put it back in the egg mix and then back in the bag a 2nd time.
      • Place on/in the air fryer or tray.
      • Keep adding flour as needed while doing the rest of the chicken.
      • If you have left over egg and flour in the bag, mix the flour into your egg bowl and place the excess on your chicken. You can also make little 1" balls for croutons with it.
      • Set the air fryer for half your total. I air fry for 40 minutes total if room temp and 1 hour if it’s frozen. My air fryer is full so it takes longer.
      • Once it goes off half way, take out the chicken (and veggies if you’re doing that) and brush on the melted butter both sides.
      • Make sure it goes back in for the second half of air frying as turned over to the other side.
      • If you don’t use all of your flour, put it in a sealed plastic bag for next time.

      This recipe is so freaking good, let me know if you have questions. Your timing may vary according to your machine.

      Edit: I forgot the garlic powder. I went through it and double-checked everything else.
