Instructions

Step 1

You can use a sealable bag or a large bowl to brine the chicken. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl or sealable bag along with the pickle juice and buttermilk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sweetener to a large bowl, large enough to dredge the chicken. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the egg to a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge both breasts in the beaten egg and then the flour. Place the chicken on the Air Fryer tray.

Step 5

Spritz the top of the chicken with peanut oil. Spray from a distance.

Step 6

Air fry at 400 degrees for 15-22 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Step 7

Every air fryer model and brand will cook at varying speeds. Monitor your results carefully, and adjust as needed.
