Crispy Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Bang Bang Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 380°F (190°C), setting the stage for perfectly crispy chicken.

2. Step 2

   In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and a splash of hot pepper sauce until everything is beautifully blended.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, combine flour, tapioca starch, salt, garlic powder, and cumin, creating a flavorful dry mix that will give your chicken a delightful crunch.

5. Step 5

   Make sure each piece is well-coated for that irresistible texture.

6. Step 6

   Next, arrange the coated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, giving them some space to breathe—this helps them cook evenly.

   A light spray of cooking oil on top will help achieve that golden finish.

8. Step 8

   Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, giving the basket a gentle shake halfway through to ensure every piece gets that perfect crispiness.

   You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, signaling deliciousness.

    While the chicken is cooking, whip up a quick dipping sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, and a dash more hot sauce in a small bowl.
