Crispy Air Fried Chicken. Health-ish Classic Done Right!
Nothing Beats home cooked classic meals. Something about the meals we ate growing up puts us back into a happy place that’s full of comfort.
My favorite meal growing up was Fried Chicken, Corn, and Rice. This is a southern classic! Instead of deep frying my chicken I used my air fryer for a healthier version. You will achieve the same crunch, flavor, and comforting goodness without the need to use a deep fryer.
