Spicy Air Fryer Chicken

Delicious Easy Recipe Inspired by Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

Spicy Air Fryer Chicken

After eating at Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken in Memphis, it was love at first bite. So, I tried out a couple of copycat recipes, tweaked them a bit, and then decided to make Spicy Fried Chicken in an Air Fryer. I must say I was pretty happy with the results. It came out crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and it definitely had that spicy kick.
