Rosemary Chicken Air Fryer

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Rub the marinade all over the chicken thighs or breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. For best results, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  1. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side up. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook: Air fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the chicken to ensure even browning.
  3. Check Temperature: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish: Serve with lemon slices if desired, and enjoy your rosemary chicken hot.

Tips for Perfect Rosemary Chicken in the Air Fryer:

  • Fresh vs. Dried Rosemary: Fresh rosemary provides a more intense flavor, but dried rosemary can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • Even Cooking: If your air fryer basket is small, you might need to cook the chicken in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Additional Herbs: Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or oregano to the marinade for extra flavor.
  • Oil Sprayer: Using an oil sprayer can help apply olive oil evenly over the chicken without using too much oil.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.

This rosemary chicken cooked in the air fryer is a flavorful and healthy meal that can be prepared in a fraction of the time it takes to bake in the oven. Enjoy the aromatic blend of rosemary and garlic, complemented by the zesty lemon!
