buttermilk

ranch seasoning

🥗Healthier: homemade herb blend

💰Cheaper: Italian seasoning

Homemade blends can reduce sodium.

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breasts

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken thighs

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and neutral in flavor.

Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a bowl.

Add the Hidden Valley buttermilk chicken premium recipe mix to the bowl with the vegetable oil.

Mix the oil and seasoning together until well combined.

Add 2 lbs of chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them with the mixture.

Place the coated chicken thighs into the air fryer basket.

Set the air fryer to cook at a lower heat setting for 30 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken after 20 minutes; it should be around 143°F.

If not done, continue cooking and check again after 10 minutes.

Adjust the air fryer temperature if the chicken is getting too dark.

Remove the smaller piece of chicken once it reaches 170°F and continue cooking the larger pieces until done.
