Now, I love a chicken thigh. What's your favorite piece of chicken?

[@marilyn3826]

breast/wing and No hot sauce I also use your old trick of spreading mayonnaise on it then flour makes it crispy and so tender I saw you do this with corn on the cob on the grill

[@jbird4754]

“Maryland” drumstick and thigh “L” shaped❣️❣️❣️

all of it when it's organic chicken

The wings!! Kinda' white & dark. 😂

It gives my soul a lift to watch you cook and hear you laugh and see you smile. You will always be a special favorite of mine

[@gloriaoscar5505]

I remember my Mother in law cooking 2 or 3 chickens on Sunday after church after she cut them up herself. What a time saver that would have been for her. I do not know how she did it. She loved to have company over on Sunday. Love you Paula.

[@avielbenzion7133]

Love ya Paula! As a former OTR driver I loved southern cooking when I drove I-95 when I could find it! Chicken mmm. Breast is my chicken fav

[@stoneyvance7720]

I miss seeing her. Always loved her. I make her stuffing every Thanksgiving.

[@flyaway7636]

@@yw123wallace4 Mom is with Jesus, probably tending a garden if I know her. Though Paula's white & mom was black, they cooked the same foods the same way. Thx for asking.🤗

[@sadashiva1]

I am so pleased that I finally bought an air fryer - and especially pleased that I paid attention to the positive reviews of other users, and decided on this one kzbin.infoUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB . It is just perfect for the two of us, and takes up very little space on my small countertop. I roasted salmon filets for dinner tonight and they were the best ever - slightly crispy on the outside but moist inside. Best of all, no smelly kitchen or difficult clean-up. My only complaint would be the lack of even a few printed recipes to get started. My generation does not find it easy to access the QR code and use the smart phone app. I bought a recipe book instead, which gave me the confidence to experiment.

[@loyckfiona]

I love the way u washed yr hands each time wen it’s messy/oily. Cleanliness in the kitchen is No.1

[@williejetter2948]

Hello, how are you doing?

[@jbparrothead8532]

I've seen too many on people You Tube dip into their salt boxes without washing their hands first while handling meat. Glad to see Paula wash her hands BEFORE doing that!

[@romainejayne1811]

Egg wash tends to make chicken less crispy, so I just marinade and then flour the chicken. Because egg makes chicken soggy and the breading also tends to fall off. Omit the egg, it even tastes better without the egg! That's how my Momma always did it! And, you'll be surprised how much crispier the chicken gets. I would eat anything Paula Deen cooks!!!!

[@patfennell1502]

What do you marinade it in?

[@romainejayne1811]

@@patfennell1502 If I'm too busy I don't marinate it, lol. But, after I season my chicken all over I just dust it real good with plane old flour (which I season the flour, too) Any kind of flour is good, and fry it. If, I do Marinate it before I flour the chicken, I just let the chicken pieces sit for about an hour in a bowl of water with at least 1/2 c. Of lemon juice (that brines the chicken and makes it super juicy) every time and the breast will NEVER be dry.

[@patriciatreslove146]

Agree, I would not add the egg.

[@vickiepatterson1748]

This looks wonderful! And I know what you mean about getting hot because we've already had temperatures up in the 90's down here in Texas. 🤠 Thanks for sharing another great recipe! 💕

[@williejetter2948]

I love how real Paula is..."I'm just gonna cut this breast in half, because I didn't think of that before." Her cooking is simple, real, and DELICIOUS! Thank you Paula!

[@Justme77400]

Make sure you use a healthy oil, like avocado or olive instead of canola or corn oil. Butter is ALWAYS good! Paula, I love how you are giving recipe alternatives for those of us eating keto!! Your channel is so great!! Love you!

[@leasplans894]

Yeah you just saved me ! My son loves my fried chicken but it’s so much work but now I can do it the air fryer!! Thank you so much! The spray is the key!!!

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

*Paula* I have a suggestion for you. The plate the comes out of the basket is way to low to the bottom of the basket. I made rings out of heavy duty aluminum foil about 2 inches tall and put them in the bottom of the basket so the plate would be two inches off the bottom. It allows the air to circulate better. I get a much better cook as well. You put one ring in the corner on all four corners. One ring is about as round as a half dollar in size.

[@BulgarianRose1]

Sweet Paula, thank you for making those shows. It means a lot. Your attitude towards life, laughter and kind soul are healing. Love from the Balkans.

Good morning & Happy Sunday Ms Paula & friends!!!👋🏽🌻 Up here in MD, it's still rather chilly at night, like in the 40s to 50s, and Springtime during the day, like in the high 60s to low 70s. But my weather app indicates temps in the 80s to 90s this coming week. I'm excited! Warmth finally! But that air fryer fried chicken looks so good! That's it, I'm buying one of your air fryers pronto! 😁❤️❤️❤️

[@repunzalrepunzal6063]

Looks delicious!! Easy and healthier too!

[@ampa4989]

I don't eat chicken but that looks really good. But I think it would crisp without the spray because of the skin. Does anyone know otherwise? It works like that in the oven but maybe an air fryer is different. Anyway, I'm sorry to say this, Paula (and my fellow Paula fans), but that spray is actually not calorie free. It's "zero calories" for a half second spray. I think it's actually five calories, but the FDA allows the manufacturers to round it down if it's five or less. So if you spray for five seconds, it's 50 calories. If you spray it four times for five seconds, 200 calories. Still better than frying!

[@allentrice1703]

Y'all gonna come back for another day for fried chicken, Paula! Cause mom and I ❤ about you! 👍🐓👑

[@richardsmith4187]

Paula The chicken looks fantastic, I use a little trick and sprinkle the chicken with about 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Chicken comes out nice and crispy !

[@margareth5501]

My dear daddy used to fry the chicken in our family (Mom being blind). He always teased about the “part that went over the fence last”. I know now that he just wanted that piece for himself! 😆 Vive la dark meat!!

Hello Karen, How are you doing?

[@criticalthought7307]

Anyone out there thinking of using almond flour for fried chicken, don't lol the texture isn't as fine/powdery so there's a grainy-ness to it. Maybe arrowroot flour though! That's more consistent with what regular flour is like

[@kindnessworks71]

I had no idea you learned something new everyday thank you for that hope you have a beautiful blessed week

[@Taksamajoah]

I hate almond and coconut flour lol. I’ll stick to the white stuff.

[@charlesg4640]

I’m not a fan of almond flour in the air fryer. I tried it on boneless pork chops and on a couple different types of veggies, but the coating never got crunchy it was very mealy and ruined my dishes.

[@criticalthought7307]
