  1. Mix the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic and spices together.
  2. Transfer one third of the mixture to a separate bowl for basting.
  3. Brush the seasoned oil over the chicken, making sure to cover the entire chicken with the mix. 
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 160ºC/320ºF.
  5. Place the chicken, breast-side down, into the Air Fryer basket and cook for 20 mins.
  6. Flip over then brush with the reserved marinade. Cook for 10-20 minutes at 180ºC/350ºF. Turn the temperature up to 200°C/390°F and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
