Air-Fried Chicken Thigh Curry
Ingredients
- 3lb chicken thigh, fat trimmed
- spray avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons spicy curry
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika *
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Steps
Step 1
Set the air-fryer to 410F/210C or an oven to 420F/216C.
Step 2
Season the chicken with the spices using spray oil as a binder. Massage the spices all over the chicken and then set aside to marinate at room temp for 20 – 3o minutes.
For the best results and the fastest cooking experience, let the chicken come to room temp before adding it to the air-fryer or oven.
Step 3
Air-fryer instructions:
Place chicken in the air-fryer basket and cook for 15 – 22 minutes, depending on how much chicken can fit in the air-fryer. Flip the chicken halfway through and remove when cooked through.
Oven instructions:
Place chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment or on a rack placed inside the baking tray. Roast for about 20 – 25 minutes. Continue checking for doneness, then broil for the final 3 minutes of cooking to brown the top.
Step 4
Enjoy immediately while hot!
For meal prep, remove the chicken and place it on a cutting board or plate that is lightly/loosely covered. This allows the chicken to cool down before adding it to a closed a container which can create steam and make the food soggy.
Pair with some sides like rice, salad, roasted veggies, soups, etc – just do you!
Food will last for 5 – 7 days in the fridge in an airtight container, but for best practices, you should freeze anything you will not be eating within 2 days in order to help preserve freshness.
