This buttermilk air-fried chicken recipe takes fried chicken to a healthier level. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs, so if you use bone-in, the cooking time will be different.

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Directions

Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a shallow dish; mix to combine.
Combine tapioca flour, garlic salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a resealable plastic bag and shake to combine.
Beat egg in a shallow bowl.
Mix flour, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a gallon-sized resealable bag and shake to combine.
