Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, turmeric powder, and chili powder.
  2. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken thighs from the refrigerator and discard any excess marinade. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Set the timer for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, flip the chicken for even cooking.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.

Notes

Marinate properly for at least 4 hours or overnight for deeper flavor infusion. Use a meat thermometer to confirm that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cook only a single layer in the air fryer for crispiness.
