About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 7 1/10 oz flour
- 7 1/10 oz cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- smoked paprika, to taste
- cayenne pepper, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- a splash buttermilk
- cornflakes, as needed
- oil spray, as needed
Hot Honey Glaze
- 1 tbsp honey
- 4 garlic cloves
- enough to cover the surface chili flakes
Instructions
- 1Cut the chicken thighs into bite‑size pieces and set aside.
- 2In a shallow bowl, combine flour and cornstarch; season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to taste.
- 3In a second bowl, whisk the eggs together with a splash of buttermilk and the same spices for extra flavor.
- 4Roll each chicken piece first in the flour‑cornstarch mixture, ensuring an even coating, then dip it into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
- 5Press the egg‑coated chicken into the crushed cornflakes, patting gently so the flakes adhere firmly.
- 6Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a single layer in the air‑fryer basket; lightly spray with oil spray.
- 7Air‑fry at 392°F (392°F) for 10 minutes, then flip the pieces, spray again, and continue cooking for another 8–10 minutes until the crust is golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 167°F (165°F).
- 8While the chicken cooks, prepare the hot honey glaze as described in the component section.
- 9Once the chicken is done, transfer the pieces to a large bowl, pour the warm glaze over them, and toss gently to coat every piece evenly.
- 10Allow the glazed chicken to rest for 2 minutes so the glaze sets, then serve immediately.
