Ingredients

  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 500g mini chicken breast fillets
  • 100g plain flour
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil spray

Method

  • Step 1

    Spoon the buttermilk into a large mixing bowl with the oregano, mix well then add the chicken fillets then toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight if you have time.

  • Step 2

    Put the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper and salt into a separate mixing bowl and mix together with a fork.

  • Step 3

    Using tongs, or a pair of forks, remove 1 piece of chicken from the buttermilk marinade and add to the flour mixture. Toss to coat then transfer to a lined baking sheet, repeat until all the chicken is coated.

  • Step 4

    Spray the chicken pieces with vegetable oil spray then cook in a single layer in the air fryer for 25 mins at 200°C, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through, golden and crisp.

  • Step 5

    Serve immediately with your favourite sauce.
