Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Blend all marinade ingredients into a paste.
- 2
Score chicken pieces deeply. Coat with jerk paste. Marinate 4 hours minimum (overnight is best).
- 3
Air fry at 380°F for 20-22 minutes, flipping halfway, until charred and internal temp reaches 175°F.
- 4
Squeeze lime over the chicken.
- 5
Serve with coconut rice, fried plantains, and coleslaw.
Tip: Scotch bonnets are VERY hot — use habaneros for slightly less heat, or seed them completely for flavor without fire. The longer you marinate, the deeper the flavor. Score the chicken deeply so the spices penetrate.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 22 minutes vs ~40 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
