Ingredients

For the chicken thighs:

  • 500 g chicken thighs skinless & boneless
  • 2 tsp garlic paste or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

For the mayo sriracha sauce:

  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1-2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add all chicken ingredients to a bowl, and give it a good mix. Add them to your air-fryer basket, ensuring they are in one layer. You can cook them in batches if necessary. Air-fry at 200 C for 15-16 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through cooking. When done, transfer them to a plate while we prepare the sauce.
  2. For the sauce, mix all ingredients. Taste and season according to your liking.
  3. Serve with rice, as a salad, or even as a sandwich filling.

Recipe Notes

  • You can cut the chicken thighs into small pieces and put them on skewers instead of using whole chicken thighs. Alternatively, you can also use chicken breasts.
