Spicy Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken

Ingredients

• 400 g boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
• 120 ml buttermilk
• 1 tbsp hot sauce
• 80 g all-purpose flour
• 30 g cornstarch
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken cubes and marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer in the fridge).
2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to coat well.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
5. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary. Spray lightly with oil.
6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
