A quick weeknight meal from Turkish cuisine, this recipe marinates chicken legs with lemon and garlic, then cooks them in an air fryer. It is a hearty option that is ready in less time than oven cooking.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate the chicken thighs

15 min

Rub the chicken legs with the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, thyme, and salt, then marinate for 15 minutes.

2

Air-fry the chicken legs

20 min

Arrange the legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.

3

Serve

3 min

Garnish the cooked legs with lemon slices and serve hot.

Reminder

Do not stack the legs in the air fryer basket, or the skin will not crisp evenly.

İşten eve geç geldiğim bir akşam denedim ve marine dahil yarım saatte sofradaydı, gerçekten hayat kurtarıcıydı. Derisi de tam istediğim gibi çıtır çıtır oldu, ailem de çok beğendi.

20 dakika yeterli oluyor mu, yoksa but boyutuna göre biraz uzatmak mı gerekiyor acaba? Büyük boy butlarım var, içinin çiğ kalmasından çekiniyorum, o yüzden soruyorum.
