1

Combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, marjoram, sage, pepper, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the chicken breasts and under the skin.
2

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) as directed by the manufacturer. Stir together coconut oil, sherry, and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside.
3

Place the chicken breast-side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes.
4

Brush the chicken with the reserved basting oil. Flip the chicken, lower the temperature to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C), and cook for another 15 minutes.
5

Baste the chicken again with the remaining oil and cook until the bone area is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 6 to 12 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
