Turn over your chicken, breast side down, and coat the area with some extra virgin olive oil (about 1 tbsp). Once done, season it with some salt ground black pepper, and 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (you can also use other herbs like basil, oregano, or dry parsley). Now, place the chicken into the air fryer basket, seasoned side up. Set the temperature to 360 degrees F and air fry the chicken for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, turn the chicken over, oil, and season that side, then carry on the cooking process for another 20 minutes at the same temperature. After air frying, allow the chicken to rest before serving.
