Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  3. Cook Chicken: Place marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
  4. Roast Bell Peppers: In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add sliced bell peppers to the air fryer basket alongside the chicken to roast them until tender.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, remove chicken and peppers from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
