Ingredients

  • boneless skinless chicken thighs570 g
  • paprika — 1 ½ tsp3.8 g
  • dried oregano — 1 tsp1 g
  • garlic powder0.5 tsp
  • onion powder0.5 tsp
  • fine table salt — ¾ tsp4.5 g
  • olive oil15 ml
  • lemon — to finish1 ea

Method

  1. Optional: trim off the chunkier strips of fat from the edges of the chicken thighs.
  2. Toss the chicken thighs with the spices, a few cracks of black pepper and the olive oil. For the best flavour, marinate from 15 minutes up to 2-3 hours in the fridge (fine to skip if you're short on time).
  3. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 11-13 minutes, until deeply golden and a bit crisp outside and at least 165°F (74°C) inside.
  4. Transfer to a cutting board, rest for a few minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze lemon over the top.
  5. Serve with your favourite sauce, a baked potato or roasted veggies, in a rice bowl or on a salad.
