1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
½ tablespoon ground black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 serving cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place chicken thighs in a shallow casserole dish. Pour buttermilk over chicken and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large gallon-sized resealable bag. Dredge chicken thighs in seasoned flour. Dip back into the buttermilk, then coat with panko bread crumbs.
  • Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the chicken thighs in the basket, making sure none are touching. Spray the top of each chicken thigh with cooking spray.
