Prepare the air fryer (Power XL) for use.

Take a pack of chicken thighs and drumsticks (about 10 pieces) with skin on.

Clean the chicken by scraping off any yellow residue with a knife.

Singe any leftover feathers over an open flame.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken to clean it, then wash the chicken thoroughly.

Dry the chicken with a paper towel before seasoning.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon jerk seasoning, 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning, 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika to the chicken.

Massage the seasoning into the chicken, ensuring it gets under the skin.

Beat 3 large eggs in a bowl for coating the chicken.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cornstarch and shake to combine.

Coat each piece of chicken in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour and cornstarch mixture.

Arrange the drumsticks in the air fryer without overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook the drumsticks first.
