  1. Put this in the oven and could tell it was going to be soggy. So the light went off and I transferred the chicken to the nuwave and crust is firming up and browning. This recipe was made for an air fryer.

  2. I took the advice from other responses and doubled the spices and only used 1 cup of flour and still had some left over. I also used the last bit of bread crumbs i had left over. It turned out great!

  3. I am going to try this as soon as I buy the thighs! I will brine them first because I use bone-in skin-on & don’t want them drying out. I will do as others suggest and use less flour but for my 1st try I will use the seasonings as stated.

  4. First, I’m not a good cook. I called my son about the flour comments and he said “mom”, just use panko. I had some and followed most of the instructions substituting some spices (Italian seasoning instead of oregano and the like) and I have to say, it worked GREAT! I didn’t really measure the seasonings and took the advice from a comment that said to marinate the chicken for an hour. YUMMY!!! Thank you so much!

  5. I followed the recipe to the T and I ended up having to throw it in the air dryer afterwards because it was soggy. Not sure what I did wrong but I’ll be sticking to the air fryer. I added a ton of my own flavors so it came out flavorful.

  6. Made this but took some advice and reduced that flour and added more than double the spices. Marinated the thighs in the seasoned oil for an hour prior to baking. Definitely used foil for easy clean-up. Chicken was very good and moist and spicy. But even better as chicken salad the next day. Chunked the chicken, added diced red onion, worcester sauce and mayo. Amazing flavor from the flour/spices.
