Instructions
MAKE THE MARINADE
- Place all the marinade ingredients in a food processor or a mini chopper and blend to a coarse paste. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of the marinade in a small jar.
MARINATE THE CHICKEN
- Trim any extra skin from the chicken thighs. Place them in a Pyrex container, pour the marinade over it and use tongs to turn the chicken over so that is coated in the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes or, ideally, overnight.
AIR FRY
- Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for two minutes. Mist the basket with vegetable oil. Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Space them slightly apart so that they can crisp up evenly. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Use tongs to turn the chicken pieces over so that they are skin-side up. Brush the chicken with the reserved marinade. Turn up the heat to 180°C (350°F) and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the skin is crisp and the internal temperature is 85°C (180°F) when checked with a meat thermometer. Rest the chicken for five minutes before serving.
SERVE
- Drizzle the chicken with lime juice and garnish with lime zest and finely sliced spring onions. Delicious served with rice, grilled corn or my avocado salad.

Notes
- NOTE 1: Use two jalapeno chillies, with seeds, for a milder marinade. Use one scotch bonnet (or habanero) and build up to two if you like it spicy. Use gloves to handle the peppers.
