Yes, you can make Nashville Hot Chicken in your Air Fryer. (If you have a smaller air fryer like we do, it is a slow process because you can't fit very many chicken pieces in the basket at one time, but it does work.) In order for the coating to brown, you need to spray the prepared chicken with cooking spray just before placing it into the air fryer.  Air Fried Hot Chicken comes out of the air fryer with a decidedly different, less appetizing texture (imo) and color than that of oil-fried Hot Chicken; however, once you baste it with the basting spices, it is difficult to tell the difference.  NOTE: If you air fry your hot chicken, you will need to heat up some oil in a small cooking pot to mix with the basting spices.
