• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

   Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.

   Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.

   Return the air fryer basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
