Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 stick Lemongrass (finely chopped)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 piece Red chili (finely chopped, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, coconut oil, lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, turmeric, chopped red chili, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
Once preheated, remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Arrange them in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer.
Step 5
Air fry the chicken thighs for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or basil if desired. Enjoy your Keto Air Fryer Ayam with a side of cauliflower rice or a simple green salad.
