Cut some slits into the flesh of the chicken, about 3-4 per whole leg.

Add the marinade on top and rub it in well, making sure it gets into the cuts.

Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, up to 36 hours.

Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.

Spray or oil your skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and sear on high heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until charred. Make sure to not add in any extra marinade.

Once charred, transfer to your air fryer and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.

If you're using Kashmiri pepper for color, mix it with the oil and brush it onto the chicken.

To get the traditional smoky flavor, light two small charcoal pieces until they get a grey color. Transfer them to a metal bowl.

Transfer the completely cooked chicken into a serving dish, and add the charcoal bowl next to it.
