Instructions
- In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken and leave it to soak in the fridge for a few hours.
- Mix the cornflour, the gluten-free plain flour and the spice mix (smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and white pepper), add a generous amount of salt and mix.
- Coat the buttermilk chicken pieces in the flour mix using tongs, making sure plenty of buttermilk clings to the chicken to form a moist, ragged coating.
- If using the air fryer, spray the basket, then spray the chicken with olive oil spray.
- Cook in the air fryer at 200°C for about 12-15 minutes per side, depending on the cut and size of the chicken, turning halfway through and spraying again with olive oil.
- For the sweet and sour sauce, add the brown sugar and cornflour to a small saucepan or electric frying pan and mix. Add the pineapple juice, white vinegar, tomato sauce and soy sauce, then bring to a boil while whisking.
- Serve the chicken with the sauce on top or alongside for dipping.
