CloseMethod
-
1.Crush the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl with your hands.
-
2.Grab another mixing bowl and add all the remaining dry ingredients. Give them a whisk, then mix through the buttermilk to create a delicious orange batter.
-
3.Line the base of your air fryer with baking paper.
-
4.Dip a chicken piece in the batter and use your fingers to make sure it is covered. Let it drain a little so it’s not dripping, then place in the cornflakes and press well to make sure it is coated evenly. Pop in the air fryer. Repeat this process until your air fryer is full.
-
5.Cook the chicken for 20 minutes on 180°C. Crank the air fryer to 190°C and cook for a further 3–5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
-
6.While your chicken is cooking, mix the smoky sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
-
7.Once your chicken is cooked, transfer it to a tray and brush over the smoky sauce. Serve with some lime cheeks, mayo and coriander.
