Preparation:

– Wash and pat dry the chicken piece

Marination:

– To make the marinade, take a bowl and add all the ingredients as shown in the video. Whisk it well to make a uniform and smooth marinade.
– Now add the chicken legs & thighs to the marinade and mix it well, making sure the marinade coats the chicken completely and massaged well inside the slits made earlier.
– Now cover the bowl and keep in the refrigerator for around 2 hrs or if you want, overnight

Process:

– Take out the basket from the Air fryer and brush it with 1 tsp oil.
– Now place the marinated chicken pieces side by side in the basket making sure not to put too much marinade. (The marinade could burn if too much)
– Put the basket back into the Air fryer and set temperature at 180°C and time at 20 mins.
– Pause the air fryer after 10 mins. Remove the basket and baste the chicken with 1 tbsp butter.
– Put the basket back and cook for the rest of 10 mins at 180°C
– Remove and check if the chicken is cooked. Otherwise you may cook for 2-3 mins more at 180°C
