    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Reserve about a ¼ cup of marinade in a separate bowl.

    Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly coat air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange marinated chicken in the prepared air fryer basket and lightly spray the chicken with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 18 minutes, flipping the chicken over halfway through.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle the reserved marinade over the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and enjoy!
