Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Pat the 400 g chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Never wash them, or they’ll splatter.
  2. 2. Squeeze 2 tbsp of lemon juice fresh. Fresh tastes more aromatic than from a bottle.
  3. 3. Wash the bunch of parsley and shake it dry. Wet herbs clump together in the marinade.
  4. 4. Chop the parsley finely. Coarse pieces taste stronger than a puree.
  5. 5. Pluck the thyme leaves from the stems. The stems are too woody to eat.
  6. 6. Press 2 garlic cloves through a press. This avoids large, unpleasant pieces.
  7. 7. Mix the lemon juice, herbs, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and pepper in a bowl. The marinade should be creamy-smooth.
  8. 8. Coat the chicken thighs all over with the marinade. Make sure to get every part for full flavour.
  9. 9. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 15 Min. This allows the flavour to soak deep into the meat.
  10. 10. Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. This takes about 3 Min., then put the thighs in.
  11. 11. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket. Don’t stack them, or they won’t cook evenly.
  12. 12. Cook the thighs for 10 Min. at 200 °C until golden brown. Open the basket and flip them once.
  13. 13. Fry the chicken thighs for another 10 Min. at 200 °C. The skin should now be golden brown and crispy.
  14. 14. Take the thighs out and let them rest for 5 Min. This keeps the juices in the meat.
  15. 15. Arrange the chicken thighs on plates. They’re perfect when the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
