Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs about 6 pieces, skin on, bone in
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • Pat dry the chicken and keep it aside. In a small bowl, whisk the rest of the ingredients until combined.
  • Rub the chicken with the marinade until well coated. You can air fry immediately or leave for a few hours for the flavors to develop more.
  • Place the chicken thighs on the air fry basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry them at 400° F for 20 minutes, until golden. Turn the chicken over and air fry for 5 more minutes if needed.
  • Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Pat dry the chicken to remove extra moisture and to make it crispy.
  • You can marinate the chicken and leave it in the fridge, covered, for 24 hours.
  • If you are using boneless, skin less chicken thighs cook them for 7 to 12 minutes.
  • Leftover chicken thighs can be stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Reheat on a low heat in the air fryer until heated through.
