You can also use a mild wing sauce or bbq sauce instead. If you are unsure of the chicken being too spicy then do not baste with the spicy coating (or go super easy on it).

This is much better than the microwave which will make the breading soggy.

If you have leftovers a great way to reheat the chicken is to use the air fryer to crisp up the crust.

This chicken tastes great served with dill pickles or collard greens.

If you’re using a smaller air fryer you may need to cook the chicken in batches. The chicken was juicy and tender and the outside was crispy and spicy. I cooked about 1 ¼ pounds of chicken all at the same time in the 2 level air fryer basket.

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Multi-Use Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer* to cook this chicken.

Oh and it’s made in your air fryer so it’s not deep fried and not quite so heavy as to leave you in a food coma for hours. My version of hot chicken is not quite the real thing but it will give you a feel for it if you can’t get to Nashville. We ordered ours at a less spicy level since I was a little nervous (there are 6 different spice levels). It’s fried chicken basted with a spicy sauce.

We did so and it really was amazing (along with the mac and cheese and banana pudding!). Greg and I visited Nashville a few years ago and were instructed by a friend that we just had to visit a restaurant called Hattie B’s and order the hot chicken.
