Tips for a good recipe for chicken thighs with salad
- The longer you leave the chicken bathed in the spices, oil and lemon, the tastier it will come out.in my case I usually leave it for 1 hour
- It is important to bathe the chicken thigh because if you only put the spices and oil on one side, the other will be tasteless and colorless.
- Quantities and times may vary from one air fryer to another. so I recommend taking out and checking the chicken from time to time
- You can use the spices that you like the most, even vary from one cooking to another so that eating a lot of chicken does not make you so tired
- If you put the chicken thighs in an aluminum container it is likely that you will have a sauce like that of roast chicken
- The salad can also be varied to your liking, and being a companion you can change it for another without problem
