  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 lemons quartered
  • Optional: rosemary sprigs for garnish

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Let chicken rest at room temp for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
  3. Rub chicken with olive oil and season with rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place in basket skin-side up. Air fry 12 minutes.
  5. Flip chicken, add lemon wedges, and cook another 10–13 minutes until 170–175°F internal temp.

Notes

Add lemon wedges midway through cooking. Otherwise, they'll become too well done and charred.
