Air Fryer Greek Chicken Instructions

[Depending the style of your air fryer basket, you may need to brush the chicken with the dressing before putting it in the basket, but if possible put the chicken in the basket and then brush it with the dressing (it's less messy that way).]

Spray the fry basket with cooking spray and place chicken into the basket with the legs facing down.
Air fry chicken at 330 degrees for 30 minutes.
Flip chicken. Continue cooking for 20 more minutes (or more as needed based on the size of your chicken) at 330 degrees Fahrenheit or until internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees.
