Ingredients

1 liter buttermilk

125 ml maple syrup

1 egg

1 tsp granulated garlic

4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

125 g all-purpose flour

60 g tapioca flour

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp sweet paprika

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp granulated onion

0.25 tsp ground black pepper

0.25 tsp cayenne pepper

0.5 tsp granulated garlic

0.5 tsp honey powder (e.g., Savory Spice®)

Directions

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine buttermilk, maple syrup, egg, and granulated garlic. Add the chicken thighs, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Step 2

Prepare the dry mix by combining flour, tapioca flour, salt, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, granulated onion, black pepper, cayenne pepper, granulated garlic, and honey powder in a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (380°F).

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and discard the excess. Dredge the thighs through the dry mix, shaking off any excess, and place them skin-side down in the air fryer basket.

Step 5

Air fry for 12 minutes, then flip the thighs and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 74°C (165°F), about 13 minutes more.
