Air Fryer  Cornish Hens

Combine your spices: salt, pepper, lemon zest, garlic powder and smoked paprika.

Then, rinse and pat your hens dry. Rub olive oil over the birds, then rub the spice mixture INSIDE and OUT!

Air fry hens for 16-18 minutes on one side. Then flip, and cook another 10-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165.

Let the hens rest 10 minutes before serving.
