- 5Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and air fry for 40 minutes. When the oven signals, add the Brussels sprouts and continue cooking. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
- 6To make the lemon dressing, whisk the zest, juice and oil together. Set aside.
- 7The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from the bone, reads a minimum of 165°F. If not, press A Bit More. Tip: The cooking time will vary depending on the shape, weight and size of your chicken. For best results, test for doneness 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cook. It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
