We love using our air fryer. We use it at least 3 times a week, I would say. It’s so convenient and the food comes out so good.

We recently played around with this triple pepper and lemon chicken in the air fryer and it’s safe to say, we are OBSESSED. It is SO good. The nice thing is you can make it as spicy as you like by adjusting the spices.

The nice thing about this recipe is it’s great for leftovers. We always try to make extra so that we have some for lunches the next day. It makes for really delish chicken salad!

We love making this chicken over salad or with a side of veggies. It’s got so much flavor!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb chicken thighs

• 2 lemons

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1/2 tsp white pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl

2. In a large bowl, add the chicken and the seasonings, mix to combine

3. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes

4. Preheat the air fryer to 385 and spray with cooking spray

5. Place the chicken into the air fryer and drizzle with a little avocado oil and cook for 20 minutes, flip half way through

6. When the chicken is fully cooked, remove from the air fryer and squeeze the lemon all over it immediately

7. Serve with a side of veggies and ENJOY

Squeezing the lemon right away is so important! The hot chicken soaks in all of the lemon juice and makes it so tasty!

If you aren’t a big spice fan, add in less of the spices and add in more lemon! You can also use chicken breasts or tenders, if thighs aren’t your favorite!

We love using chicken thighs because they stay so juicy and have so much flavor. The air fryer makes them crisp, but they are still moist.

You can also grill this chicken. Follow the same recipe, but grill instead of using the air fryer.

I hope you love this air fryer triple pepper and lemon chicken recipe as much as we do!
