Brining the chicken in buttermilk makes it so juicy – the more time in the buttermilk, the better! Also, the skin and bones make the chicken very tender compared to a boneless, skinless breast. I love the skin, but you can of course discard it after it’s cooked which would reduce the calories and the ww points to 0. And if you want to make a boneless, skinless breast instead, I would stick to this air fryer chicken breast recipe.
This recipe is from Air Fry Every Day: 75 Recipes to Fry, Roast, and Bake Using Your Air Fryer: A Cookbook (affil link) by Ben Mims. Ben and I share the same publisher, so it’s fun seeing how his air fryer recipes differ from mine in the Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook (affil link) Some fun recipes, Mole-Braised Cauliflower or Strawberry Scone Shortcake look and sound delish!
This air fried chicken breast is a simple yet delicious protein. You can always double the recipe so that you have leftovers for lunch the next day. This buttermilk chicken is great over your favorite salad, and it also pairs well with just about any side like rice pilaf, corn tomato avocado salad, or roasted baby potatoes.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast the chicken in the oven. Cook the breast for 35-45 minutes at 400 degrees until a thermometer reads 160 degrees. For a whole chicken recipe in the oven, try my Roast Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon.
Yes! Air fried chicken is healthy. It requires way less oil than traditional fried chicken. The only oil required to air fry chicken is a little oil spray on the top of the chicken breast.
