Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for air fryer fried chicken.

Mention the heat and the desire to avoid using the oven or burner.

Start by using 1 egg and about 1/2 cup of hot sauce, adding a little squirt of water to the mixture.

Season the chicken with homemade house seasoning, turning the pieces over to coat them.

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss them to coat, letting them marinate for a while in the cooler if possible.

Move the flour to a larger bowl to have enough room to toss the chicken in it.

Use approximately 1.5 cups of flour for the chicken, adjusting based on the amount of chicken being cooked.

Cut the chicken breast in half to ensure even cooking and coat it in the flour mixture.

Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer, using a 9.5 air fryer, and set it to 350°F.

Spray the chicken with cooking spray to help it get crispy, placing it in the fryer with the skin side down and spraying the other side as well.

Cook the chicken for 15 minutes in the air fryer, then check and spray it again after turning the pieces over.

After 15 minutes, spray the chicken one more time and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for another 7 minutes to finish cooking the chicken.

Check the chicken's appearance and texture, noting how crispy it looks and sounds when cooked.
