Notes
- Make sure to leave the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving, as this lets all the juices soak into the meat.• Cooking time depends on your air fryer and the size of your chicken. So start with 45 minutes and then check your chicken from there.• Make sure the chicken is patted dry before adding the rub.• If your chicken is a bit too big to fit in your air fryer, then gently push down on it with the palm of your hand until you hear the breast bone crack and it should fit in a bit easier.• Don't waste the juices that are left in the bottom of your air fryer basket. Pour it over some vegetables and whilst the chicken is resting, cook them in the air fryer. You could also make a gravy with them.• Make sure you remove the giblets if your chicken has them.
