  • Add the chicken, coat well and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Mix all-purpose flour and cornflour in a separate bowl.
  • Lift each piece out of the marinade and press it into the flour mixture until fully coated.
  • Preheat the Domestica Air Fryer to 190°C.
  • Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the cooking chamber and brush lightly with oil.

Good To Know

Cooking Tips

  • Do not overcrowd the cooking chamber. Hot air needs to reach every piece for the coating to crisp evenly.
  • After turning, spray or brush a little oil on any dry, floury patches for an even golden finish.
  • Larger thighs may need 3 to 5 extra minutes. Wings are usually done first, so remove them early if needed
