Notes

  • There are 7 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
  • Make sure your chicken is dry prior to adding the rub. A rub works well in the air fryer, and you don’t want your dry rub to not stick.
  • Start with the hen breast side down in the air fryer, then turn over about halfway through the cooking time.
  • Do make sure the entire hen is coated in the rub, so every mouthful is full of flavor.
  • It is important to make sure that the cooked chicken must reach an internal temperature of 165F / 75 C before serving. Use a meat thermometer to check this.
