Good Day, yes I actually did this tonight, but it's really off the bone tender, you said that you had 3.5 pounds (1.59 kg) of meat, I had 9.6 lbs, so I thought it would take approx an hour, so to my liking it's too soft, it was even difficult to take out and set on air fry, it fell apart, but that being said it was good, thank you.
