How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Mix all ingredients for the spice mix well.
2. Combine spice mixture with flour, brown sugar, and salt.
3. Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat, then transfer to flour mixture. Flip a few times to ensure the flour mixture sticks well to the chicken. Repeat with all chicken pieces.
4. Let the chicken pieces sit for 5 minutes to let the crust dry out a bit.
5. Fry the chicken in batches. The breasts and wings should take 12 to 14 minutes, and the legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. The chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
6. Let the chicken drain on some paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.
