Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and garlic together and then brush half over the chicken whilst the chicken is breast side down. Then season with salt, and pepper and then half the piri piri seasoning.
  2. Place in the air fryer and cook for 25 minutes breast side down at 180c/360f.
  3. When the air fryer beeps, turn over and add the same ingredients to the breast and then air fry for another 20 minutes breast side up at the same temperature.
  4. Once cooked remove from the air fryer and slice down the middle and then each half into thirds to make six pieces of chicken.

Notes

  • Turning. The easiest way to turn a chicken over in the air fryer, is to place a fork in the inside of the chicken and then turn. It wont burn you and it makes it so much easier.
