🥘 Ingredients
Chicken
  • 6 bone-in chicken thighs (skin on, about 2 lbs)
Marinade
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp dried oregano (Greek oregano if available)
  • 1 tsp salt (kosher)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Serving
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled, for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
📝 Instructions
  1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shared 💡 Zest lemons BEFORE juicing — much easier.
  2. Coat chicken in marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 min, up to 4 hours. Shared 💡 Longer = deeper flavor. Dont exceed 4 hours or lemon cooks the meat.
  3. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 380°F for 3 minutes. Shared 💡 Preheating is essential for crispy skin.
  4. Place thighs skin-side down. Air Fry 380°F for 12 minutes. Top Oven 💡 Skin-down first renders fat, crisps skin.
  5. Flip skin-side up. Air Fry 10 more min until 175°F internal, skin golden. Top Oven 💡 175°F is perfect for dark meat — juicy and done.
  6. Rest 5 min. Garnish with feta and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges. Shared 💡 The feta adds salty tang that complements the lemon.
💡 Ninja Tips

Zest before juicing lemons. Marinate 30 min minimum. Skin-down first. 175°F internal target. Fresh feta and parsley at serving.
