Ingredients
-
5 Drumsticks and 5 Wings Chicken
-
1 oz ( 1 pack ) Ranch Dressing Powder

Directions
Air Fried Crunchy Chicken is one of the most popular air fryer foods. The chicken comes out juicy, crunchy, delicious and most importantly oil-free! If you had told me last year that I would be able to enjoy super crispy fried-like chicken without worrying about all the oil it has soaked in, I would not have believe you probably.
Today we are adding some Ranch dressing to the chicken. As we are using one Dry Ranch dressing pack, we will mix half of it in the breading, while the rest of it as a sauce.
The key to making the chicken tender when air frying is the marination time. By submerging the pieces in milk, they tenderize. You can alternatively use butter milk and skip the lemon. I marinated for 1.5 hours. You can up to 5 hours if you have the time.
This Air Fried Crunchy Chicken will go perfectly well with some Air Fried Potato Skins, Air Fried Corn on the Cob or some Air Fried Parmesan Potatoes.
