Turn the air fryer on to 180°C/350 F for 20 mins (preheat for 5 mins if your model requires it)
Lightly spray Air Fryer basket with olive oil, then use tongs to place chicken pieces into basket
Cook for 10 mins, then pull basket towards you, rest on heat proof surface, use tongs to flip each piece of chicken to other side, push basket back in and cook for a further 10 mins
Serve with garlic yogurt sauce and herb salad

Note 1 If you don't want to use a whole chicken and cut it up yourself, you can opt for chicken legs, breast, thighs or wings and follow the same instructions. If, however, you are game, it is worth every second to prepare the chicken for this delicious feast!
Note 2 If you want to use store bought seasoning, no worries, that is fine to do! You won't find the exact combination if spices in a store bought version but they will be along the same lines (ish!).
