Trying to figure out why my chicken never feels like it's salted enough.

I've cooked MANY different chicken dishes very recently, and I've been... Mildly disappointed in most of them. JUst not I made bone in chicken thigh in my air fryer. Really simple just salted chicken cooked til done, but the chicken doesn't taste salted! The outside does, but the inside always has like no flavor and I don't know why.

I didn't measure out the salt but I did do quite a bit of salt this time on each side of the thigh, I'd say about maybe a tablespoon and a half total? And I salted it yesterday at night so it has about 12-18 hours from salting to cooking. I just don't know what I might be doing wrong. Is this like a feature and not a bug?

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions I'll try them out the next time I do chicken :D
