 well with butter. Y'all see this pretty chicken? You will be amazed. I made it in my air fryer, my cassori air fryer and this is all the grease that dripped off this chicken after I pull it out. That's I had the most and I took it out of the air fryer. I cooked it for 35 minutes so y'all stay tuned and you're gonna see how to make this delicious crunchy spicy fried chicken in the cassori air fryer. So that's the cool thing about this cassori air fryer. Let's get our chicken ready while it's preheating. Now I'm gonna use my recipe because I like my recipes and we are going to use Chris's special chicken seasoning of course. We are going to sprinkle this chicken with a special seasoning before we do anything else. You want to go to want to get a pretty good coating on it. Now he said, because this does have a little cayenne pepper in it, that if you really want some hot chicken like if they make it Bojangles or Popeyes, that all you gotta do is sprinkle a lot more seasoning on your chicken. You don't have to use hot sauce or anything like that and it's really really good. But now I don't like my popping hot so I put just enough for a good piece of fried chicken. Okay now let me say this if you're fried chicken with an air fryer. You want to use pieces that have skin on. Do not try to make chicken nuggets or just the breast of chicken and think it's going to be absolutely divine because it needs this skin for the oils to fry up well in the air fryer because you're cooking it with no oil. Now the next thing I'm going to do because this is just what I prefer to do instead of using olive oil I'm going to use butter. I'm going to take some room temperature butter and I'm going to rub my hands with it. Then I'm going to pick up each piece of chicken and I'm going to coat it really really well with butter. Now you're going to want to make sure if you're using something like this that I am today that you of course wash it and don't reuse anything you've touched the chicken with and this butter with make sure you don't cross contaminate. Okay so we're going to rub this down really good. You really want to get the butter on there well so you really need to have your chicken dry. Dry it with a paper towel if you rinse it off you make sure you dry it really really good so it'll have butter on it. See that butter is not want to stick because it's a little bit wet. Once you bread your chicken you do want to let it sit at least 10 minutes before placing it in the air fryer but I wanted y'all to see how the preheat worked. Okay so once I get this breaded we are going to let it sit. Use self-rising flour. I prefer white lily. If you can't get white lily use King Arthur okay because they both use like winter white wheat. It makes a real crunchy crust and without having to double dip. If you use plain flour it's not near as good and fluffy and crunchy okay. The air fryer times chicken legs for 25 minutes but now these are some really fat chicken legs so I'm going to cook it longer today. I'm going to cook this chicken for at least 35 minutes. Okay and make sure you throw away all touch the raw chicken. Get rid of it and don't use it until it's clean. Our air fryer is ready to go. It's preheated. I have sprayed my chicken with cooking spray and I'm going to place it in this air fryer okay. I'm going to place it in the air fryer with the side that I sprayed. In other words put the wet side the sprayed side down. That's as good as I'm gonna get it for now okay. So we're gonna take this and put it in here and I'm gonna put it on 25 minutes before I even turn it the first time okay. It's gonna be there 25 minutes. I'm gonna turn it after 25 minutes and cook it another 10 because this is large pieces of chicken. Minutes left y'all on this side and I want to spray this side because I sprayed the other side of when we flipped it down but I forgot to spray the top. So I just want to spray down and let it continue to cook okay. Time to flip this chicken and like I said it's set preset to 25 minutes but I just want to cook my chicken to death. So I am going to turn it over and we're gonna cook it another 10 minutes after I turn it over okay. So you can just hit the chicken and then leave the temp the same but take your temperature I mean your timer back down to 10 minutes and that will cook a total of 35 minutes. Our chicken's done y'all 35 minutes. Make sure you don't lay your basket on your countertop and mess it up. Make sure you get something that's heat resistant okay. You can actually let your chicken just sit in here and let it rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before you eat it but I want you to see it so we're gonna take it out and put it on wire rack. You can eliminate the step. There's no need and doing this step like I said I'm doing it just so y'all can see the chicken because then you just don't have to wash something else and it shouldn't have a lot of grease dripping off of it or nothing like regular fried chicken because it was made in the air fryer okay. So y'all will be able to see how much grease actually dripped off the chicken right before we serve it up. It looks delicious absolutely delicious. If you want to take the bigger piece and cook it a little longer you can do that too. I'm gonna put this in the chicken close to the bottom and just see what the temperature is in this chicken. You can see it's at 205 to 107 degrees right in the middle next to the bone. I would say that chicken is good and done and ain't gonna hurt nobody. Alright we're gonna taste this chicken y'all. Good old fried chicken. Now of course it's not like it would be if it were a deep fried but I'm gonna tell you it looks good. It's crunchy enough. I mean the crust is nice and see how it separated from the meat like it would if I had fried it in a deep fryer or in the skillet. It's hot. I'm gonna taste this skin. Mm-hmm. Delicious. Y'all go get your cassori. I'll have a link to the cassori but you can't go wrong with an air fryer. We use ours for so many things and who doesn't like fried chicken. Good. Thanks for watching Colored Ballet Cooks where we cook like mama did. Hey y'all it's Tammy with Colored Ballet Cooks and Cassori loves me so much. They sent me another air fryer to try out for you guys but this one just like the other one except it has Wi-Fi. So you can find it with a smart app on your phone and once you find it you can also take a look. I'm gonna go backwards and show you guys how it looks on here. There are recipes on the app so we are today we are going to do an entree and we're gonna do fried chicken. Now I'm not gonna use their recipe because I like mine better but if you did want to start this chicken and you want to cook this recipe then you click cook the recipe and you can actually cook now and it will start to or we can turn this on and it should turn the cassori on right here it just cut on and it's gonna start to preheat. That is so cool. Cool beans. Now the cool thing about this you can take this into the living room with you and when your chicken is cooking you can look at the time that it has left and you'll know if you need to turn it or do whatever. It's really nice.
