Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Finely chop the 2 garlic cloves. Important: Don't chop them too small, or they will burn quickly at 180 °C.
  2. 2. Put the 400 g chicken thighs into a large bowl. Pat them dry – wet meat will never get crispy.
  3. 3. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, and rosemary to the bowl. Add the salt and pepper too.
  4. 4. Mix everything with your hands until the chicken thighs are evenly coated with the marinade all around.
  5. 5. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes until the heat is ready.
  6. 6. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket. Make sure they don't touch each other.
  7. 7. Fry the chicken thighs at 180 °C for 15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
  8. 8. Open the basket and flip the chicken thighs with tongs. This makes both sides equally crispy.
  9. 9. Fry them for another 10 minutes at 180 °C. Now the crust will become nicely golden brown and firm.
  10. 10. Take the chicken thighs out and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This keeps the juices inside.
  11. 11. Serve the chicken thighs immediately. The dish is perfect when the skin cracks and the meat is juicy.
