Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 1 piece Lime, juiced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, melted coconut oil, and lime juice to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 5

Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve the Air Fryer Ayam with steamed rice or a side of your choice. Enjoy your gluten-free Indonesian-style chicken!
