Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Marinade:[/b]



Using a fork, pierce the chicken pieces all over to allow the marinade to penetrate.

Blend[/b] on speed 5 for 5 seconds to create a smooth paste.





Marinate the Chicken:[/b]



Add the chicken pieces to the bowl with the spice paste. Mix using the reverse function[/b] on speed 2 for 30 seconds until the chicken is evenly coated.



Transfer the chicken to a large bowl, cover, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.





Cook the Chicken and Onion:[/b]



Preheat your Air Fryer[/b] to 360°F (182°C).



Place the marinated chicken and onion slices in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with vegetable oil.



Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 15 minutes[/b], shaking the basket halfway through and spraying the chicken with additional vegetable oil.



Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. It should reach 165°F (74°C) when fully cooked.





Finish the Dish:[/b]



Remove the chicken and onions from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.



Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
