Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl. Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper to the buttermilk. Soak the chicken legs and thighs in the buttermilk.
Add the Essence seasoning and flour to a shallow baking dish and mix.
Shake the buttermilk off the chicken pieces and dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour. Place the chicken pieces on the XL Baking Pan. Spray the chicken with canola oil spray.
Slide the XL Baking Pan into the appliance. Select the Air Fry setting. Set the cooking temperature to 375° F and the cooking time to 40 minutes.
After 30 minutes, start checking the internal temperature of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken. When the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165° F, the chicken is ready to serve.
