Ingredients

  • 1 kg Chicken (thighs or breasts) bone-in or boneless
  • 120 ml Marinade (mojo) citrus and garlic based
  • 15 ml Olive oil additional for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your air fryer to 200°C. Pat the chicken dry and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer, ensuring space between pieces. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices.

Notes

Tip: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for best results and ensure the marinade is well-distributed for flavor.
