Instructions
For the Air Fryer Lemongrass Chicken
- In a small or shallow bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and red chili flakes with the chicken thighs.
- Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes or more or overnight in the fridge.
- Add a liner to the air fryer basket if you choose to, and add the chicken thighs to it in a single layer. Avoid overlapping them. A tiny bit is ok, but you’ll have to shift them halfway through as the chicken thighs will shrink as they cook.
- Air fry at 400F for 10 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the chicken thighs until all done.
- Enjoy the chicken with your side of choice, or assemble a noodle bowl to serve with your chicken. In my noodle bowl, I have cooked vermicelli noodles, pickled carrots, sliced cucumbers, mint, cilantro, lettuce, and nuoc cham.
For the Nuoc Cham
- Add the sugar and fish sauce to the hot water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Set aside to allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, combine the liquid with the minced garlic, minced Thai chili peppers, and the lime juice.
- Refrigerate until ready to use, serve chilled.

Notes
- Estimated calories include the nuoc cham.
- The recipe is adapted from my skillet lemongrass chicken thighs.
- I like to serve with an additional lime wedge as I love the tartness of limes, but that's optional.
