Air Fried Garlic Chicken Recipe – Persimmon and Pepper!
Description
My Air Fried Crispy Chicken Recipe is a bit different but SUPER TASTY!. I have loved air frying dishes just as much as by bbq. Nearly every friend I know has an air fryer and more and more people are getting them every day. This is a very flavor dish that you can pull off in 20 minutes with two air fryers, or you can do the squash first, keep it warm and then do the chicken.
Ingredients
Instructions
- PREPARE CRISPY COATING
- Mix one bag of Shake & Bake coating with 6T of rub.
Mix in bag and place on plate to prepare for the chicken. - PREPARE CHICKEN
- Take your two breast of chicken and coat them with garlic whip on once side
Place the garlic whip side down on the crispy coating mix.
Coat the chicken face up toward you with more garlic whip.
Turn over carefully and coat the side you just put the garlic whip on.
Be careful not to hold to tight as you do not want to disturb the crispy coating mixture. - PREPARE DELICATA SQUASH
- Slice Delicata squash in half and clean out center, then cut both halves width wise.
In a bowl, mix the squash with the garlic whip (I used about 4T).
Coat Delicate garlic whipped squash with Knotty Wood BBQ rub or your favorite seasoning. - COOKING CHICKEN
- Preheat your air fryer for 5 min. on preheat setting
Place chicken in air fryer for 15 minutes on 380ºF for breasts thicker than 1.5 inches or 350ºF for less thick chicken breats.
No need to turn.
Let rest for 5 min. then slice for plate when ready. - COOKING DELICATA SQUASH
- Air fry at 380ºF for 15 min. then increase temperature to 400ºF for 6-8 minutes and checking every 2 minutes. You
want them tender to pierce and moist. - FINISH THE DISH

Surround your chicken with the squash.
Slice your persimmon and place around plate.
Sprinkle Aleppo pepper over food especially the persimmons.
