Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
- Rub the chicken with the paprika, salt and pepper. Make sure to get the spices under the skin.
- Rub the chicken with the sauce.
- Put it in the fridge and let it marinate for 30-60 minutes.
- Put the chicken in the air fryer basket, skin side down.
- Air fry at 380 degrees F for 20 minutes.
- Flip and cook for 10-15 minutes more.
- Use a meat thermometer to verify the temperature has reached 170 degrees F.
- Serve with more peri peri sauce, either brushed on the chicken or for dipping.
Notes
- Experiment with different cuts of chicken. While I love using half a chicken for this recipe, you can also use chicken thighs, drumsticks, or even wings. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly. Here is how to adjust the cooking time:
- : 15 minute total
- : 20 minutes
- Always use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature of the chicken. Food poisoning is not fun!
- Don't skip the marinating time. Letting the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 24 hours!) will make a big difference in terms of flavor.
- If you like your food extra spicy, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice rub. Just be warned—a little goes a long way!
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can also make this recipe in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and cook the chicken for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F.
