Air Fryer Kentucky Kernel Fried Chicken — Who does not love fried chicken? It is a staple of the American diet and has been for decades. However, we all know that deep frying adds unnecessary calories and fats to our diets, so how can we get that delicious taste without guilt? Good news! The air fryer is here! This new kitchen gadget allows you to fry food in just one tablespoon of oil, making this recipe healthier than traditional methods. Give it a try when you are craving some crispy goodness!

What Is Kentucky Kernel Fried Chicken Seasoning Mix?
Kentucky Kernel Seasoning Mix is a blend of salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. It can be mixed with flour to make your own fried chicken seasoning mix or cook other dishes like mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, or baked beans. Kentucky Kernel Seasoning Mix is gluten-free and comes in an 8 oz package that works well with air fryer chicken coating.

Kentucky Kernel Seasoning Mix has been around since 18100, but they’re still using their original recipe! This means no MSG or artificial flavoring has ever been added to the mix, which are two ingredients many people are trying to avoid these days.

HOW MANY MINUTES DO I COOK FRIED CHICKEN?
Depending on how thick your chicken is and what chicken part you are cooking, the average time is 15 to 20 minutes. The thicker chicken parts will need more cooking time.

For best results, use a meat thermometer and check the thickest part of the chicken, reaching 165 degrees F.

WHY DOES THE BREADING ON MY FRIED CHICKEN FALL OFF? HOW CAN I AVOID THAT?
My friend just served me fried chicken, and I was so excited to dig in, but it quickly turned into disappointment. The breading on the chicken fell off as soon as I picked up a piece with my fingers.

This is one of those questions that everybody has asked at least once or twice in their cooking careers! Luckily for you, now you will never have this problem again because by reading this post, you will know exactly what to do when your breading falls off…

  • Milk or Buttermilk: Make sure to drain the buttermilk from the chicken. You are trying to get as much off as possible, so the breading does not clump.
  • Use Your Hands: After you drain the milk/buttermilk, add your chicken to the bag of seasoning. Use your hands and pat the breading on, so it will stay.
  • Parchment Paper or Silicone Liner: My chicken coating sticks better if you use a piece of parchment paper or a reusable silicone air fryer liner. This way, the breading is not sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Tongs: Use tongs to flip your chicken. Depending on your air fryer, you may need to flip halfway during the cooking process.
  • Crowding: For best results, you do not want your chicken to be touching another piece of chicken. Otherwise, the coating will come off.
