Notes
Top Tips:
- Marinate chicken for at least couple of hours. If marinated chicken has been sitting in fridge- bring to room temperature first before Air Frying. I usually remove from fridge at least one hour before.
- Make deep cuts in the chicken.
- Preheat the Air Fryer.
- Be sure to inculde all the rough paste in the marinade into the air fryer as well when beginning to cook the chicken.
