Ingredients
- 35 oz or 2.2 lb chicken
- 5 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 3 coriander root
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons golden mountain sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon yellow curry paste
Instructions
MARINATE THE CHICKEN
- Use a mortar and pestle to finely crush the garlic, black peppercorns, and coriander root.
- Combine the crushed herbs and spices with the rest of the ingredients (salt, golden mountain sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and yellow curry paste) and stir well. Add the chicken and thoroughly coat it with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
BAKE THE CHICKEN IN AN AIR FRYER
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Place in the chicken thighs in a single layer, skin-side up.
- Cook the chicken for approx 25 minutes. Halfway through, flip them. Near the end, flip once more to slightly crisp up the skin.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked, ensure the chicken's internal temp hits 165°F (74°C) before serving.
BAKE THE CHICKEN IN AN OVEN
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking tray and spread them out, so they're not touching.
- Slide the tray into the oven and bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until golden-brown with crispy edges.
- Before serving, make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Pair with rice for lunch or dinner.
- Baking time varies with chicken size. For large, thick fillets, bake for 40 mins. Check after 10 mins to avoid burning, and flip halfway through.
