Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground sage
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 (8 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
  • 0.25 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps

  1. Mix paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, marjoram, sage, pepper, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Spread spice rub on all sides of chicken breasts and under the skin.
  2. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Mix coconut oil, sherry, and lime juice together in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Place chicken, breast-side down, in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Brush chicken with reserved basting oil. Flip chicken, reduce heat to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C), and cook for another 15 minutes. Baste chicken again with remaining oil and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 6 to 12 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
