Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 380℉ for 5 minutes.
Wash and pat dry the chicken. Using a kitchen sear, cut out excess fat from the chicken.
Combine all the dry ingredients except the oil in a bowl and set aside.
Using a sharp knife, make deep cuts on the chicken and sprinkle oil. Rub the chicken generously.
Sprinkle the dry rub all over the chicken, ensuring it gets deep inside the slits or cuts.
Use your hand to massage the seasonings on the chicken well.
Transfer the chicken to the air fryer basket.
Cook them for 20 minutes, flip sides and cook again for 20 minutes till the juices run clear.
If you have a thermometer, you can check the internal temperature. It should be at least 165℉.
Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes, then serve immediately.
